We enjoyed a fantastic week here in Marsaskala. The apartment is a fantastic base to have a restful break. There is everything you need in the apartment, including a stove-top coffee maker! The wonderful terrace offered great views of the bay and of the town, which is bristling with life and activity. Getting up for the sunrises is a MUST, where you get to experience wonderful colours of the dawn and you get to hear (for 5 minutes) the dawn chorus, before the town bursts into life... with a fanfare of church bells!
We hired a car from Joe's Carhire (in the town), for £25 per day which was grand, to get around the island, but to be honest, we were so happy to rest locally! Marsaskala is definitely quieter, offering great choice of restaurants - our fav was Angelo's at the central playground - the owner was such a great host! And Southsiders, was a great place to catch the evening sun and have a cocktail. One vvv small issue, was that there are public works along the seafront, which means a small part of it is closed to swimming. But this did not really affect us in the end.
We will definitely return.
