WATCH: From towers to an abandoned hospital, Comino’s home to way more than beaches
Although the little island is famed for its crystal blue waters, there are many other beautiful sites and paths to explore!
Snuggled between Malta and Gozo, the island of Comino is our little slice of paradise.
Spanning just 3.5 km², Comino, Malta's smallest sibling, is home to some of the most beautiful sites on the islands. Unfortunately however, most visitors never really get past the popular Blue Lagoon.
That’s where Pierre Farrugia comes in.
In his latest vlog, this Maltese adventurer made it a point to show off all that this little island has to offer.
Comino is only accessible by boat from the seaside town of Cirkewwa, so after a 20-minute ferry ride, Pierre kicked off his trek from the Blue Lagoon.
The 10km Comino coastal trek is quite a treat, offering amazing views of cliffs and the surrounding sea.
Along the coast, Pierre came across the Roofless Cave, or L-Ghar ta’ bla Saqaf in Maltese. This spot would be perfect to explore on a kayak or canoe.
Pierre’s next stop is Saint Mary’s Tower - a fortification built to defend the islands and provide communication between Cittadella and Mdina.
Just a few metres away from the tower, Pierre spotted an abandoned hospital once used to isolate contagious patients on the island. If you're one for urban exploration, this place might be worth visiting.
Close by is Saint Mary’s Battery, erected in 1715 to protect the South Comino Channel.
Pierre and his partner eventually made their way to the highest point on the island, which shows off immaculate views of the Maltese Archipelago.
Before returning to the Blue Lagoon, Pierre made one last stop at San Niklaw Bay, where one can find the Comino Church.
