This small stack of unassuming rocks is within the site of the Dolmen hotel. The rocks themselves make up a fascinating, underappreciated part of Maltese history, and are absolutely a highlight of any visit. They deserve all the attention that they can get, and are often overlooked when compared to their other, more well known contemporaries.
2. Ghajn Tuffieha Bay

We visited the area at the beginning of January on a sunny day, and there were very few people there, which just added magic to the whole experience. I imagine this place to be packed in summer, the beach is sandy and it's such a beautiful spot. The clay slopes provide a dramatic contrast to the blue sea below. It's worth walking all the way around the large 'rock' overlooking the sea. We walked around this and then down to the beach. We spent some time on the beach and then walked back up towards the tower. It is so beautiful here, the views are breath-taking and it's just absolutely worth visiting, especially on a cold, sunny day if you like hiking or on a warm, sunny day if you like swimming. Next time we'll go back with a kayak so we can explore the caves around the area.

To rate an entire location is something that I woukd find difficult to put into words. However, Spinola Bay serves a welcome along the lines of Mediterranean meets British harbour. The mix of old and new, abundant collection of restaurants and cafes, and the multicultural assortment of both visitors, workers and locals alike is enchanting. All built in a fishing village atmosphere. Not to be overlooked when visiting Malta.
5. Gozo Ferry

Reviewed By MikeW5448 - Darlington, United Kingdom
The ferry crossing from just north of Mellieha Bay in Malta to Gozo runs a sleek and efficient service everyday from early morning until late evening. There is no need to book in advance, just return up and board. The crossing itself is very fast (around 15 mins) and ferries depart every 30 mins; so you never have to wait long. The walk on passenger cost of Euro 4.65 return is very reasonable. Note: you only need to buy a ticket for the Gozo to Malta leg; when travelling from Malta to Gozo no ticket is necessary just board the ferry.

7. The Citadel

Reviewed By faustinol389 - Ingoldmells, United Kingdom
Standing upon the high medieval northern walls of the Citadella, the view is 360 degrees of magnificence. Outside the walls, a large stretch of rocky terrain, decorated with grand churches and cathedrals acting sentinel as the crystal sea lies dormant in the back ground. Within the walls, you can see the history unravel and feel at one with the many battles and hardships the Citadella has both withstood and crumbled to. A must see to anyone who desires to expand their historical knowledge and engage with fantastic views!

We paid the 3 euros to enter the saluting battery level and felt it absolutely worth it. Not only was the view of the harbour fantastic, but we had front row "seats" when the noonday gun was fired. We were able to ask questions of one of the re-enactment team as it was happening and then had a short lecture and full Q&A session with the wonderful Benjamin, who taught me more about cannons and their place in naval history (and especially the history behind the 21 gun salute) than I'd gleaned from many other visits to historic ships over the years.

Very beautiful and if you go across the road at the back of this church there is a play area for children, head towards this as there is a lovely little bar at the back with amazing views and a great cuppa.
10. St Agatha's Tower

This place is temporarily closed.
Reviewed By 586grahamh
The tower is closed until further notice but views from the location are really good particularly if you are up for a 2-3 hour circular walk. Involves one short steep climb. For the (clockwise) walk start out along the broadly level minor road that goes "inland" above the scruffy bungalows at the bottom of the hill below the tower. Emerge beyond the bungalows; pass a farmyard area; then when the road forks head right up hill. Where it levels out good views. Follow the road round to the right with planted fields either side. After some 200m watch for a concrete track/right turn. Take it. Ascend some (very) steep stone steps to reach the top of the ridge. Seat nearby for more lovely 360' views. Option here to walk left along minor road out and back to end of headland. Otherwise turn right and walk along minor road to the Red Tower. For the route down walk beyond the tower, ignore two tracks off to right and continue as road starts to descend. Watch for access to path and steps on right which zig-zag down the hill to emerge onto the road at the end of Mellieha bay within a few yards of your start point.
