How the route could go:
-
Malta (Malta) · Embarkation
Malta lies at the heart of the Mediterranean and combines 7,000 years of history. Megalithic temples (older than the pyramids), the fortress city of Valletta (UNESCO), the main island of Gozo and the azure Comino lagoon make Malta the most history-rich archipelago in Europe.
-
Comino (Malta)
Comino is the smallest of Malta's three inhabited islands (only 4 residents!). The Blue Lagoon with its turquoise water between Comino and Cominotto is considered one of the finest bathing spots in the Mediterranean.
-
Pozzallo (Sicily)
On the south-east coast of Sicily in the baroque UNESCO region of Val di Noto in the province of Ragusa, this harbour is the southernmost point of the Italian peninsula and the launching point for fast ferries to Malta. Sandy beaches, the 15th-century Cabrera Tower and the nearby baroque towns mark its surroundings.
-
Syracuse (Sicily) · Disembarkation
Syracuse on the east coast of Sicily was once among the most powerful cities of Greek antiquity. The old-town island of Ortygia, with its Temple of Apollo and the Arethusa spring, forms its historic heart.
