Malta Coastal Walk (Walks Malta and Gozo Book 3)

This 155 km walk takes you around the entire island by a route that is interesting, safe, varied and very enjoyable. It is not a uniform sign-posted track but a combination of limestone paths, town pavements, minor country roads and some sections across open countryside. The route goes as near to the coast as is practical and safe but must of necessity avoid coastal promontories, quarries or land in private ownership. There are some slightly challenging uphill sections but the route, in the main, is along level paths. The walk can be done by any reasonably fit person, and a pair of walking shoes is adequate in all but the worst of weather. The overall walk is divided into 13 sections of about 12 km each. Importantly, there is ready access by bus to the starting and finishing point of each section.

There are few places in the world where walks of moderate distance can bring you past so many fascinating features of environmental, cultural and landscape interest.

This guide includes maps and detailed descriptions of the route and the main features to be encountered. Each section includes comments on wildlife, archaeology and geology to increase your appreciation of the many wonderful features to be visited on this pleasant ramble around the coast of Malta.
