Day Three: Explore history on the Ramla Country Walk, Gozo
During the Ramla Country walk, we discover several beautiful historical sites as well as fertile valleys which make the Ramla walk unique. The Ramla Country Walk both starts and ends in Nadur. Heading to Wied Bingemma, we find a valley where you can watch the local farmers using traditional farming methods. As we keep walking, we arrive in an area called Ta’ Venuta where we enjoy spectacular valley views. It was here that the French troops landed in Gozo back in 1798. As we continue the Ramla Country Walk, we arrive in the large and beautiful Ramla Bay. Then we head up to Calypso Cave and onto Nuffara Ridge before heading back to Nadur.

Day Four: Transfer to Malta
Malta is our next destination, often described as an open-air museum where scenery, history and architecture provide a jaw-dropping backdrop for our walks. Once we have checked-in to our hotel, the rest of our day is at leisure to explore the local area or perhaps use the hotel's leisure facilities.

Day Five: Discover natural habitats on the Marfa Ridge Walk, Malta
Relish the breathtaking views of bays, cliffs, and vast horizons as well as the idyllic Gozo channel including the islands of Comino and Gozo. Natural habitats, geological formations and spectacular shades of marine-blues and leafy greens serve as a middle space where land and sea interact; at times in serene harmony and at times in violent conflict. The walk takes us through parcels of farmland, wooded area, garigue and beaches. The path also brings forward remnants and reminders of Malta’s military legacy and its bitter struggle for survival as several fortified defensive structures are encountered enroute.

Our hotel is located in St Paul's Bay which is home to many shops, bars and restaurants that you may want to take advantage of during our day off from walking.

Day Seven: Dwejra Lines Walk, Malta
Enjoy countryside views as we walk along the Dwejra Lines, a section of the Victoria Lines. These are a complex network of 19th-Century linear fortifications. Learn about the history of 'Our Lady of Itria' Chapel and the legendary beginnings of Tal-Isperanza chapel. The walk passes through the quaint streets of Mosta village.
