This coastal trail from Għajn Tuffieħa (Riviera Beach) to Popeye Village through Il-Majjistral Nature Park makes you forget that you share this island with over half a million people.

Join me on my hike along the coast from Blue Grotto to the Ħaġar Qim temples and Għar Lapsi.

We booked this weekend trip ages ago, not knowing that Storm Harry would batter the islands just days before.

Every time I leave Malta to go to Northern Europe during autumn I notice a difference in mood. In my home country Germany it is already cold and grey and everyone walks fast with their heads down.

We were looking for a hike off the tourist crowds in August and discovered this short coastal walk from Mgarr Harbour to Hondoq Bay.

Ta’ Cenc is my favourite sunset viewpoint in Gozo. Not too complex to reach and very few people around.
