Live Life Local
Mellieha
The large resort village of Mellieha is in the northern region of Malta. While it is steeped in history and proud of its war effort during WW2 it has all the requirements of 21c living – a comprehensive public transport system, a supermarket, several eateries and bars and a beach. All within walking distance
WW11 Shelters
A short walk away are the shelters, considered to be mong the largest excavated in Malta. 2.5 euro admission fee
The shelters are a bit of a maze. A tangle of long corridors sprinkled with individual-rooms designated as maternity suites, chapel, sick bays and a mortuary. A recording of a baby crying adds to the atmosphere.

Out & About
Valletta
The Mediterranean Centre
Having been informed at reception desk that Knights Hospitaller was closed indefinitely for refurbishment, but another museum was accessible, we were pleasantly surprised at just how exciting the alternative turned out to be.
The views over the harbour were amazing. And that alone would have justified the reduced entrance fee of 2.5 euros… but once inside…
Not sure we were allowed access to the theatre, but the door was open and the temptation too strong. We accesse d from the balcony and sneaked a look at the stage where rehearals were underway. So atmsospeheric
The Pub
Tucked away in a cosy corner of Valletta you will find The Pub. The establishment where actor Oliver Reed took his last drink.
St Elmo Fort and War Museum
