Discover Malta's most photogenic fishing village — its harbour ablaze with traditional luzzu boats — then sit down to a lavish private farmhouse lunch of authentic Maltese cuisine prepared by a local family. A sensory masterpiece.
What to expect
Your host picks you up and drives you 40 minutes south to the Sunday-famous (but daily vibrant) Marsaxlokk harbour. Weave between stalls of fresh lampuki, octopus, and Maltese vegetables while your guide explains the fishing culture and the luzzu's symbolic painted eyes. Back at a restored farmhouse, watch pastizzi and bragioli being made from scratch, then settle in for a long Maltese lunch with local Marsovin wines, ending with imqaret date pastries and homemade liqueur.
Good to know
Private car transfer from Valletta cruise terminal included. Best experienced on a morning port call — the market is at its most lively before noon. The experience runs approximately 4 hours. Book well in advance as private slots are limited. Dietary requirements accommodated with advance notice.
