Malta and Gozo
Mellieħa Bay is Malta's shallowest, safest paddle, while teenagers get sea kayaking, cliff jumping and the surreally turquoise Blue Lagoon on Comino — take the first boat of the day, because by noon it's soup.

About this place
In between: walled cities, harbour ferries and pastizzi for pennies. English is spoken everywhere, transfers are tiny and the swimming season stretches from April all the way to November. Valletta's evening passeggiata suits even the pushchair shift.
