Day 1 London - Valletta - St Julian’s Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service collects you from home, for your journey to London Gatwick or Heathrow Airport and a direct, scheduled Air Malta flight to Malta. On arrival we will be transferred to your hotel in St Julian’s - the Radisson Blu (5T). Day 2 Valletta On your first day we introduce you to Valletta, the attractive 16th century capital of the island and home to a grand harbour. On our included half-day tour, we take in St John’s Cathedral. Day 3 St Julian’s Today you are at leisure to make your own explorations of this charming island; or, alternatively, join an optional guided half-day harbour cruise. Day 4 St Julian’s Another day at leisure; or join an optional guided tour to the Island of Gozo - the legendary island of the Goddess Calypso and Malta’s sister island. Only a short ferry crossing away, Gozo has a character entirely of its own - it is rich in varied landscapes, natural sights and historical features, with the citadel in the chief town of Victoria dating back to Carthaginian and Roman times. This full-day excursion, including lunch, will visit the citadel in Victoria and the Bay of Xlendi. Day 5 Hagar Qim - Blue Grotto We have included a guided half-day excursion to Hagar Qim and Blue Grotto viewpoint today. The megalithic temple complex of Hagar Qim dates back to 3,600-3,200 BC and is UNESCO World Heritage-listed. At the Blue Grotto viewpoint we see the collection of sea caverns which, at certain times of the day, mirror the phosphorescent colours of the underwater flora or show a deep dark shade of blue. Day 6 Mosta - Rabat - Mdina Enjoy an included guided half-day sightseeing tour of Mosta, famous for its Rotunda church; Rabat, where St Paul is said to have lived, and Mdina. This walled city has a unique atmosphere and, passing through the narrow streets, we admire the magnificent cathedral and the imposing bastions.
