Malta, Mdina and there the domicile of Andrea and Joanna - Agatina - is absolutely worth a visit. May be it would be best to avoid July and August. We appreciated very much, that Andrea organized the transfer from the airport to Mdina and that he gave us lots of useful hints and interesting informations. We got a nice snack and some tomatoes and water, when we arrived. Joanna answered every question promptly and was very helpful.
Mdina is a dream - be prepared to feel enchanted. We discovered Malta by car and had to struggle a bit because of the left-sided traffic. We missed to ask for a residence permission for parking, although we got the information by Andrea. Next time we better try to get one, because concerning the frequency of the feasts and theater events and others we sometimes had to look for parking lots and then walk more than a kilometer to our holiday house. Anyway there are lots of busses driving over the whole area.
The different restaurants nearby gave us the opportunity to try local dishes or simply a burger with Maltese cheese. In the evenings we could sit on the roof terrace, drinking wine, observing meteors and listening to the bells of St. Pauls.
We were lucky and could witness Maria assumption in the Mosta dome, which was a really touching experience.
In the result we can highly recommend to visit Malta and have a stay in the house of Andrea und Joanna. We hope to come back soon.
