With the countryside in full bloom and the sun remaining mild, it is the perfect time to explore the rugged coastline of Northern Malta.Unlike the summer months, March provides the cool breeze necessary for long distance walking. The trails are firm and the air is clear, offering excellent visibility for those who want to see across the channel to Gozo or Comino.

Top Coastal Routes to Explore
