A Private Walking Tour Through Malta in 84 Photos.

As I’ve mentioned, I’m in Malta for a month. A month that is quickly closing in on me. Today, for my beloved paid members, I am taking you on a private walking tour through Malta, a place many can’t even identify on a map. (Find Sicily, then look below a few inches.)

The first week and a half I stayed in Rabat. A sweet part of Malta, where the sidewalks are Scotch Tape narrow—Busy had to walk either in front or behind me.

The doors in Malta are a wonder and so are the closed balconies, called gallarija (plural: gallariji).

Our local religious artifact restorer.

I went to a pop-up sale at Kixott, a cultural center, pronounced Kick-Shoet.

I took this from the balcony while they were setting up. It started at 11 a.m. I got there at 11:30. I took this at 12:30 p.m. This is the day I learned that in Malta, “start time” is just a loose idea.

You liked this. You’ll probably like the rest. The private walking tour of Malta continues behind the paywall.
