Etna starting at $4,235per person St. John’s Co-Cathedral Blue Grotto DAY 1 FLIGHT TO VALLETTA Today we will transfer to the airport for our overnight flight to Valletta, Malta. Note: The airport location and airline will be confirmed no sooner than nine months before departure. DAY 2 SLIEMA, MALTA (Dinner) Welcome to Malta! Upon arrival in Valletta, we will settle into our hotel in nearby Sliema for the next five nights. Although Sliema is a European town, the quaint, flat limestone roofs and ornate baroque churches adorned with limestone carvings make this place one- of-a-kind, with a touch of history and a slower pace of life. Dinner will be enjoyed as a group this evening. DAY 3 SLIEMA, MALTA (Breakfast, Dinner) Following breakfast, we will get to know the capital city of Malta. Valletta was built by the Knights of St. John after the Ottoman’s “Great Siege of Malta” in 1565. The fortified city boasts over 320 monuments in a 0.2 square mile radius and is the 2018 European Capital of Culture. Within its main gates is a great mix of history and lively culture. We will begin with a walk in the Upper Barrakka Gardens to enjoy a breathtaking view of the only natural harbor in the Mediterranean before visiting the Manoel Theatre, one of the oldest working theaters in Europe. Up next is a tour of the Grandmaster’s Palace staterooms and armory before we head to St. John's Co-Cathedral. Built shortly after the Great Siege of Malta, the church’s austere exterior is in drastic contrast to its splendid, high baroque interior. The artistry is amazing, from its tombstone laid floors to the vaulted ceiling painted scenes from the life of John the Baptist. In the oratory are two wonderful masterpieces by the artist Caravaggio – St. Jerome and his only signed piece, The Beheading of St. John the Baptist. We will end our day with an entertaining folklore dinner. DAY 4 SLIEMA, MALTA (Breakfast, Lunch) Today we’ll head out into the countryside. The agricultural sector here is small but diverse, and almost all of the products grown are consumed on the island. We’ll learn about life on a small farm and enjoy a special farmer’s lunch of local foods and wine. Then we’re off to explore the silent city of Mdina, Malta’s only medieval city with a range of architecture that includes Norman and Arabic features. Next up is a walking tour of the village of Rabat and a visit to St. Paul’s Catacombs, a series of underground Christian, Jewish, and Pagan tombs that are the earliest evidence of Christianity in Malta. Back above ground, our next stop is the coastline to take in the spectacular views of the Dingli Cliffs and discover the mysterious cart ruts in the limestone at Clapham Junction. The remainder of the day is at your leisure. DAY 5 SLIEMA, MALTA (Breakfast) After breakfast this morning, we will join our guide for a lovely countryside walk with jaw-dropping views. Today is a special market day in Marsaxlokk, known as the main fishing village in Malta and the best place to see the brightly painted fishing boats. We’ll learn about the village and its fishing culture and browse the fish and souvenir market. This afternoon will involve more sightseeing, beginning with the famed Blue Grotto. We will board a boat for a ride through the series of sea caverns that highlight the beautiful waters in the area. It's a very refreshing experience! Not far away are the Hagar Qim and Mnajdra temples. These temples date back 5,500 years and are thought to have been built to worship a fertility goddess. DAY 6 SLIEMA, MALTA (Breakfast) Enjoy a full day at leisure. Explore the Sliema waterfront or make your way back to Valletta. No matter where you go, there are countless opportunities for shopping, dining, and sightseeing! Cathedral of Syracuse Taormina DAY 7 TAORMINA, SICILY (Breakfast, Dinner) This morning we will depart Malta and travel to Sicily by catamaran. Upon arrival in Sicily, we will visit Syracuse’s Archaeological Area with its Greek Theatre, Roman Amphitheatre, and Altar of Hieron II. A visit to the nearby island of Ortigia will have us seeing the Temple of Apollo, the Cathedral, and the Fountain of Arethusa with the famous papyrus plant. Free time will be available this afternoon to walk to the Grand Harbour to explore and have lunch on your own before we board our motorcoach for the drive to Taormina. After settling into our hotel, the group will gather for a delicious dinner. DAY 8 TAORMINA, SICILY (Breakfast) Today we will take a walking tour of Taormina, a town that sits near the active volcano of Mount Etna. The town is known for the Teatro Antico di Taormina, an ancient Greco-Roman theater still used today. Cliffs drop to the sea forming coves with sandy beaches near the theater, and a narrow stretch of sand connects the beach to the tiny island of Isola Bella. Spend the rest of the day at your leisure. Do some shopping and people watching in the squares or along the lively main street of Corso Umberto, visit the public gardens, or dive deeper into the history of the medieval quarter. DAY 9 TAORMINA, SICILY (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner) We will get a closer look at Mt. Etna today as we walk through the volcano’s ancient woods and past eccentric craters and unique lava formations. Along the way, we’ll be able to admire the summit craters in the distance and visit a volcanic cave. Next, we are off to a winery and vineyards for a wine tasting and lunch made with fresh, local products. The grapes grown in the area around Etna benefit from the rich volcanic soil and result in wines that any traveler to Sicily must try! On the way back to the hotel, we will also have the opportunity to taste some honey and liquors directly from the local producers. A wonderful farewell dinner is in store this evening. DAY 10 HOME (Breakfast) We will transfer to the airport after breakfast for our flight home.

  • MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 7 January 2018 1
    MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 7 January 2018 1 MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 7 January 2018 Annual Festivals & Traditions The Maltese Islands have a number of religious festivities and cultural events that take place every year. Feast days are the life of the Islands and some holy days are actually national holidays, such as the feast of Santa Marija in mid-August. Others, such as the harvest festival of Mnarja at the end of June, are steeped in folklore. However, the most important events to all villages are their individual festas, honouring their parish patron saint. Religious holidays, such as Christmas and Easter, are highly celebrated, with the traditional festivities that go along with them. As families tend to be quite close-knit, the holidays are a time to strengthen the sense of community as well as reinforce family bonds. Church services play a large role during this time of year and during the Holy Week of Easter, many flock to the churches in great numbers for the‘seven visits', the visit of seven churches, to pay homage to the Altars of Repose. The festive commemorations are also a time of food, drink and merriment which brings out the Mediterranean roots of the locals. Families prepare large Christmasand Easter lunches; giving thanks for all that they have with their relatives. During these festas the streets are lined with carts, selling a wide assortment of differentfoods as well as the more traditional sweets and delicacies. Introduced relatively recently, cultural events such as the Malta Fireworks Festival, the Malta International Arts Festival, Notte Bianca, the Malta Jazz Festival , the Malta World Music Festival and Mediterranea in Gozo are becoming traditions in their own right.

  • Abraham Said Invested As a Knight of the Italian Distillers Corporation
    Vini e Capricci honoured by Italian Distillers Corporation Vini e Capricci owner Abraham Said has been inducted as a Cavaliere della Corporazione degli Acquavitieri Italiani (Knight of the Italian Distillers Corporation) of the region of Asti, Italy. For Mr Said, this was a totally unexpected gesture, a memorable event which came as a complete surprise to him. He recalls how it came about: “Last November I was in Italy on holiday with my wife Michelle and we visited Distillerie Berta in Asti, Piemonte. The owner, Gianfranco Berta, told me to keep 23 May, 2004, free. ‘Make sure you are here,’ he said. ‘We will have the ceremony of the Corporazione Acquavitieri.’” They kept the date and arrived a day before. On the morning of the event they went to the distillery and asked about the dress code and what the event was all about. The owner, Gianfranco Berta, who is the Grand Master of the Corporazione degli Acquavitieri Italiani, was not there but his brother, Chicco, did not give much away and just told them to be there at 5 p.m. The only indication Mr Said had was a request a few weeks back for his CV. Gianfranco wanted to know more about his business and his general background, he was told, although Gianfranco had attended the opening of Vini e Capricci in Xewkija in person last October. “When we arrived at 4.50 p.m., I immediately realised that the event was something far superior to what I was expecting. I started seeing certain cars stopping, all with drivers, and on our way in when we gave our names, the girl at reception stuck a rosette on my lapel.
