📍 Destination Overview
Marsaxlokk, a traditional fishing village on a bay in southeastern Malta, brims with colorful Luzzu boats painted with the Eye of Horus for safe sailing. Every Sunday a lively fish market fills the quayside, and seafood restaurants along the shore serve the freshest Mediterranean fare, the essence of maltese harbourside life.
