Re: Marsaxlokk, Malta
One of my all time favorite destinations. So much history, excellent Mediterranean cuisine, and fantastic weather. Love touring Gozo. Recommend the Hilton Malta in St. Julian's. Great service, ambiance and food. Also, recommend a light lunch with Bruschetta Matese and local white wine at the Raffael Restaurant on their terrace overlooking Spinola Bay.
