Guided tours
Home to over 7,000 years of history, it can be a bit daunting deciding where to start on your two-wheeled Maltese expedition.
If you’re struggling to narrow it down, tour companies like Baja Bikes offer great excursions that take you through old towns and villages, along the coastline and even offer a little swim along the way.
Start in the ancient walled city of Valletta, known for its ornate palaces and grand churches, and as you venture along the coast your guide will share the fascinating stories behind the sights and sounds you experience.
With so many kilometres of official cycle routes across the island, you’ll find the journeys are easy-going, and suitable for children and older holidaymakers as well as the sprightly cycling enthusiasts among us.
If one island isn’t enough, look out for the cycle tours that include a short boat trip over to the neighbouring island of Gozo. Dotted with romantic bays and picturesque scenery, Gozo is lauded by many as a taste of truly authentic Maltese life.
