Day three

Valletta, Malta -

Valletta is the chief town, port and capital city, on the northeastern coast of the island of Malta, in the Mediterranean Sea. It occupies a rocky tongue of land on either side of which are harbors. Valletta is also the chief administrative, commercial, and cultural center of Malta. The city's historical sites and temperate climate attract many tourists. Until 1979 British and North Atlantic Treaty Organization naval bases were located in Valletta's harbors. Now these ports have been converted for commercial service. The principal architectural features are the residence of the governor, formerly the palace of the Grand Masters of the Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem, and the cathedral containing tombs of Knights.

We opted to spend this day relaxing on one of Malta's luxgoroius beaches.
