Malta Holidays: Tips and Fun Things to Do on Your Family Vacation
In terms of destinations, Malta Holidays in the middle of the Mediterranean is fast becoming one of the best places to travel in Europe. And Malta is virtually crime free, making it an ideal family vacation destination. Here are some fun things to do as a family on your Malta vacation.
Fun in the sun – Beautiful Mellieha Bay
It just wouldn’t be a Malta vacation without a few fun and relaxing days at the beach and Mellieha Bay is one of the most popular sandy beaches and is ideal for children. There’s nothing like fresh air, sunshine, and a dip in the clear blue waters of the Mediterranean to tire the kids, and at Mellieha Bay the water is shallow and calm and you can rent umbrellas and loungers. The amenities are clean and there are several kiosks, cafes and beach bars.
Swimming with the dolphins
Most children love dolphins and in the Parque Marino Mediterrano children over 8 years old can swim with the dolphins. There are also sea lion and parrot shows, as well as a reptile house.
Water amusement park
For one of the best days, with the guarantee that the children shout with joy, you will not want to miss the Splash and Fun water park. There is a children’s pool, family slides and a wave pool with 1.5 meter waves, the swimming pool of Europe’s largest waves. Or cool off under the waterfalls as you ride the lazy river on a rubber tube.
Mediterranean cruise
There are several day cruises available to places like the Blue Lagoon, as well as harbor cruises and day trips or excursions to Sicily. In addition, there are several cruises that depart from Malta.
Popeye Village or Sweethaven
Take the kids to meet Popeye and Olive Oyl at Popeye Village, Anchor Bay near Mellieha, north of the island. They will have a great time exploring this fun park that was the original setting for the 1980s Popeye movie. They will also have the opportunity to dress up and be part of a movie that everyone can see later. You may not be able to hear much about the children’s laughter, but you can purchase copies of the film as a souvenir.
The summer months can be hot, so the kids would like to take a quick dip in the paddling pool to cool off while Mom and Dad lounge on the loungers. There are also trampolines as well as boating in Anchor Bay during the summer. And if you have younger children, there is a small amusement park with rides, but the highlight for kids of all ages is the Santa toy display, which is guaranteed to keep them entertained, at least for a while.
There is literally no shortage of great family things to do in your Malta Holidays so that you and the children are relaxed and happy and sleep like babies every night. It really is an ideal family vacation destination.
