📍 Destination Overview
Comino is a nearly uninhabited islet between Malta and Gozo, home to no permanent residents yet famed as the Maltese summer's must-see thanks to the world-famous Blue Lagoon. The lagoon lies in the channel between Comino and the islet of Cominotto, its water turning an unforgettable gradient of blues and greens under the sunlight, so clear you can swim and snorkel straight in. The island also offers St Mary's Tower, the Crystal Lagoon and quiet walking trails - ideal for a leisurely day-trip by boat from Valletta, Sliema or the Marfa ferries.
