Detailed Overview
Maybe you've already been on the classical tours of Malta, and maybe it's time to discover the tranquil side of the island. The private tour Panoramic North is the answer for our travellers and guests seeking to taste the essence of country life in Malta.
Our tour starts off in the limits of Il-Kunċizzjoni, a charming hamlet that seems to stand in the middle of nowhere but comes complete with a quaint chapel and an adjacent archway that leads to the farmsteads.
This area is in the vicinity of the Victoria Lines. This defensive wall, inaugurated in 1897 and named in honour of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, was built across the width of the island of Malta as part of the British's effort to fortify the island.
Our tour guide will then lead you on to Golden Bay, one of Malta's sunset-facing beaches that offers stunning views of the coastline. Another interesting point on this private tour is the visit to St. Agatha's Tower or the Red Tower. This tower is another cog in the machine of coastal defence devised by the Knights, and today, it is a prominent landmark.
Concluding this private tour is a photo stop at Popeye's village, a film set constructed in 1980 for the film 'Popeye', starring Robin Williams as the strong, spinach-loving sailor. On this tour, you can rope in a typical rabbit lunch in the country. You'll discover that even the 'fenkata', a culinary feast where the main dish is rabbit meat has its historical side. If you opt for it, you can expect a starter of spaghetti in rabbit sauce, followed by rabbit meat stewed in aromatic herbs, red wine and vegetables.
