Ken and Fiona’s apartment is perfectly positioned for both beautiful Birgu and the three cities ferry, which is a ten minute walk away, and runs every half hour into Valletta (10 minutes). As ‘elderly’ travellers (60+) the cost was only 90 cents return each which included the elevator to Barrakka Gardens. The view from the apartment across the marina is stunning and wonderful to wake up to each morning.
Ken and Fiona were very welcoming and quick to respond to any questions. They very kindly met us at the airport and took us to the apartment which is a good size and certainly met our needs.
There are a number of restaurants to meet all budgets within a 5 minute walk.
During the winter months there is a fixed price on the buses of just 2 euros for up to a 2 hour journey (3 euros in the summer) which means you can go anywhere because you can reach all corners of the island within 2 hours. We actually purchased a 12 trip bus pass which cost 15 euros making each journey even cheaper
