Discover the Timeless Heritage of Valletta

As you meander through its narrow cobblestone streets, you'll uncover architectural masterpieces such as St. John's Co-Cathedral, where the opulent Baroque interior astonishes visitors with its intricate artistry.

Engage with History at the Grandmaster's Palace

Among the must-see things in Malta, the Grandmaster’s Palace is a highlight, offering a peek into the island's grandiose past. Its ornate rooms and legendary armoury beckon history enthusiasts and curious travellers alike.

Embrace the Serenity of the Blue Grotto

Embark on one of the best Malta tours to the Blue Grotto, where natural wonders unveil themselves in a stunning display of sunlight and sea. Here, crystal-clear waters echo hues of brilliant blue, inviting visitors to experience enchanting boat tours and explore the hidden sea caves.

Soak in the Sun at Golden Sands

For those who adore sun-drenched beaches, Malta vacations wouldn't be complete without a visit to Golden Sands. This picturesque bay is perfect for unwinding and enjoying some of the finest coastline the Mediterranean has to offer. With its golden sand and inviting waters, it’s a haven for beach lovers.

Dive into the Mythical Beauty of Gozo

A short ferry ride away lies Gozo, Malta's sister island known for its rugged landscapes and tranquil atmosphere. Delight in the rural charm and discover majestic sites such as the Gigantia Temples, considered some of the world’s oldest free-standing structures.

A Culinary Delight: Savoring Maltese Cuisine

Exploring the culinary side of Malta, relish in traditional dishes like pastizzi – flaky pastries filled with ricotta or mushy peas – and sample the famous rabbit stew, fenkata. These flavours are a unique reflection of Malta’s diverse history and are sure to tantalize your taste buds.

Immerse Yourself in Maltese Culture

Malta's vibrant cultural scene is best experienced through its numerous festivals, which celebrate everything from folk music to fireworks. Engaging with locals during these events provides a genuine insight into the island's warm and hospitable spirit.

Explore the Stunning Architecture of Mdina

Journey into the silent city of Mdina, where medieval walls whisper tales of times gone by. Known for its stunning architecture and serene ambience, this former capital is a picturesque setting for exploration.

Practical Tips for Your Malta Adventure

To make the most of your Malta vacations, consider visiting outside peak tourist season when the weather is pleasant and the sites are less crowded. Public transportation across the islands is reliable, but renting a car offers the freedom to explore at your own pace.

Whether you find yourself basking in the Mediterranean sun, diving into the depths of its crystal waters, or strolling through its ancient streets, Malta truly is a destination rich in both adventure and relaxation. It's a tapestry of historical wonders and natural beauty waiting to be discovered.

You should try a Zen meditation session. Imagine slipping into a silk kimono for the day—carefully tied by an expert dresser, every fold precise, every colour chosen to suit the season. It’s a ritual that feels as personal as it is timeless.

What do I love about Japan? In a word - EVERYTHING. The incredible contrast that Japan offers - new/innovative vs old/traditional, the warm and welcoming people, the incredible rich culture, the culinary wonders awaiting around every corner, the cleanliness, efficiency and safety. It's one of the best places to visit in Asia in my opinion.

Pub Street in Siem Reap, Cambodia, is a local favourite with very inexpensive drinks. It's also a great place to try the local delicacy, BBQ frog.

I love how laidback and relaxed Laos is compared to other countries in Southeast Asia. It's like the best of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand all rolled into one, and then sent back in time 20 to 30 years.

I have worked with Goway several times in the past two years and every single trip has been unforgettable. Specifically, our travel advisor, Maria, has helped us book phenomenal trips to Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland, and most recently, Iceland. Maria is so wonderful and easy to talk to, but what really stands out is her ability to get to know her clients so she can plan trips that perfectly align with our interests and desires. I cannot recommend her strongly enough! Her expertise, hard-work, and dedication towards each trip has given myself, my family, and friends memories to last a lifetime! Kayla Covello

I have been booking with GoWay for more than 2 years and feel so fortunate to have the best Travel Advisor, Maria Spitman, making our vacations unforgettable. I can’t say enough about Maria… she is personable, efficient, detail-oriented, and extremely knowledgeable about her specialty destinations. We have booked many trips with her, including Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Sicily, Iceland, and our most recent trip in Greece. Maria has not only curated nuanced itineraries, but has done so combining her vast knowledge of each region with our interests and needs being met perfectly. With that, it is evident that Maria learns about her clients to create vacation packages that far exceed expectations. I won’t book with anyone else! GoWay has a gem that is irreplaceable! I highly recommend seeking Maria out for all your destination needs. Darleen
