Here you can get 'Pastizzi' or 'Cheese cakes' and 'Pea Cakes' not exactly a healthy lunch, but something the locals are nuts about so got to be tried :) Along with a Kinnie of course!

This is a great place to go for a late morning swim followed by lunch. The restaurant is raw, basic, service can be terribly slow, but the fish is always fresh and excellently cooked. Some complain that it’s pricey but most of the time I think it's worth it. The bay is gorgeous, and the snorkeling along the cliffs is interesting with little caves you can swim into. If you're lucky you may even spot some sea-horses. Unfortunately it is only accessible by car. Restaurant is open till 4:30 but if you plan to be there between 1 and 3 I would recommend booking as it can get busy. Call 79854007

Parks & Nature

Ramla Bay is the most accessible sandy beach (Bus from Victoria), it's a beautiful beach and if you want to grab a bite to eat, the restaurant 'Kcina ta Ramla' serves decent food.

San Blas is another gorgeous beach. Less accessible (very steep hill to walk down), meaning less busy. However this year there is not much sand due to winter storms so it may still seem quite busy. There is a food stall which served basic food and drinks in summer. Park near the red dot and walk down, though there is a jeep service that will take you up the hill to your car for Eur2/ person. https://www.google.com.mt/maps/dir/36.0566824,14.3010399/Triq+San+Blas,+In-Nadur/@36.0540309,14.2971829,1134m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m8!4m7!1m0!1m5!1m1!1s0x130e4ad85531cb6f:0x63c9d741d9f9b09b!2m2!1d14.3004252!2d36.0515538?hl=en

Prevailing winds are NW so when blowing from this direction this would be the most sheltered spot. You can also get boat rides and trips to Comino from here.

A good diving site, and nice place to watch sunset. There was a large geological window there till a storm destroyed it last winter... still a sad point for the locals.

Sightseeing

A walk around the Citadel is obviously a must, it's worth looking out to see if there are any events happening there too.

A walk to St Georges Square, St George's Basilica, and stroll through the narrow lanes is good way to see the old part of town.
