What to do in Malta

[RemaL]

Taking the family there and staying in Sliema for a week in Aug.

Any tops what to look at or visit while there?

Never been before and would like to visit some interesting places so thought it was worth asking on here. The kids will be 12 and 15 so anything that they will enjoy. Normal girls for the age. They have enjoyed mayan Ruins in Mexico, The Keys in Florida in the past.

So what can you suggest.

Popeye village for the kids

kids may be a tad old for this but worth asking if they want to go

cheers for all the feedback.

We are staying in the Fortina Spa and hotel. looked nice and close to a lot for things.

Main reason for asking on here is many like minded people on here and any extra info is always worth it

The Fortina is lovely - there are a few decent restaurants in the hotel but you can venture up to the Point shopping centre or down the promenade if shopping takes your fancy. On the same promenade is where you can catch the ferry to Valletta.

Great to hear positive things about our hotel. And the wife spotted the shopping mall close by so that will be hit by her and my girls

I would echo all the above.

My best man lives there and we've been over a few times.

Just be careful if you hire a car and drive anywhere.
The driving over there is interesting.

Last time we spend 3 nights in Gozo.
Loved it, great pace of life there, practically stationary :-)

You'll have a great time.

Like most countries then for driving. But i will take your advice. I want to hire a car even if for a few days to get about and visit areas. Can you drive to Gozo or is it ferry only. i've not looked yet

I did a quadbiking tour of Gozo, which was awesome. You get to see some bits of the place you can't get to by car (and wouldn't walk to), as well as it being quite fun (rwd quadbike+practically slick tyres+ water from the sea at a couple of fords = very fun)

edited to add, these guys: http://www.gozoquadhire.com/

looks fun indeed
