For those seeking a “charming town” or a location for a “romantic date” in quaint surroundings, Alex recommends Ghajn Tuffieha or the Dingli Chapel at sunset, Gardjola Gardens in Senglea and Calypso’s Cave at Ramla Bay. Marsaxlokk, Zejtun and Mosta also make the cut as charming towns which are great to stroll through.
