Things to do

For visitors interested in history, the De Redin Coastal Towers are fortifications that are all around Malta and Gozo. Built over a sixty-year period from 1601-1660, these towers were built as either watchtowers or for strength and armed defence against invaders. The most famous of these includes the Red Tower at Mellieha and the nearby Wignacourt Tower at St Paul's Bay. The Red Tower, also known as St Agatha's tower, was built in 1647 and manned with 30 soldiers and a cannon ready for potential invasion. It continued to act as a defence tower during the British period of Maltese history.

During the cooler months is the best time to get active and what better way to see the island and keep active than to hire a bike? Rent high quality mountain bikes that are well-maintained and serviced regularly so you can be sure of a safe and fun experience. Rent a bike for the day or longer and get out and have a look around the local area while taking in the beautiful scenery, or go with a group bike tour and get the inside information about where to go and what to see when out on the bikes.
