Hi Mike,

Thank you!
The quickest and cheapest way to get to Malta from Sicily is to travel by plane.
With Air Malta or Ryanair, you have direct flights from Catania every day. The flight takes less than an hour.

Enjoy your stay in Malta and Sicily!

Hi Saumitro,

I am really glad you enjoyed your stay in Malta and that my guide was useful!

Maybe see you soon on the blog for another trip!

Thanks a lot for your superb Malta travel guidance. The trip was really awesome and memorable. We enjoyed a lot.

Keep writing blogs, it helps travelers like me to explore new places comfortably.

Thanks

Hi Saumitro,

You’re welcome!

Yes sure, you can call my friend Darren from Gozo Taxi Service, he will arrange you everything for Malta and Gozo.

Here is his phone number: tel:+356 9914 9280

You can also have a look at his website: Gozo Taxi Service website

Leave him a message in case he doesn’t answer and tell him you’re calling from me 🙂

Have a great day!

Thanks for valuable information.

Do you have any contacts of private tours who can provide us a cab with a driver to roam around places in Malta for all 5 days?

Thanks
Saumitro

Hi Saumitro,

This is unfortunately not really possible to go for a day trip to Sicily, it takes too long (2 hours of ferry one way).

The ferry arrives in Pozzallo, in the south of Sicily, it’s really not convenient to visit Taormina and the Etna. Pozzallo – Taormina is another 2 hours drive, so that would mean 8 hours of transportation in the day (+ ferry boarding, getting a rental car etc…)

For the day tours and activites in Malta, I have written a guide talking about all the best things to do on the island, you can read it here: The 27 Best things to do in Malta.

You can have a look at all the available day tours (both standard and private tours) and their schedules by clicking on the links and buttons in the article.

And if you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to ask me!

Enjoy your trip to Malta 🙂

I liked your article.
I am planning a 5-day trip to Malta and would like to know if it is possible to include a day trip to Sicily (Taormina and Etna). How comfortable will it be?
Also, what are the available options for weekends for tour in Malta?

Hi Joline,

Great choice for Mellieha, you will be close to the best beaches of the island.

For the 4 hours with a private driver, you should go to the places that are the hardest to reach by bus:

-Dingli Cliffs, the blue grotto viewpoint (and the short boat excursion inside the Blue Grotto, if you want), Marsaxlokk and St Peter’s Pool.

For the other days, you can pick the the places/activities you are the most interested in from this itinerary, no problem!

Enjoy your trip to Malta!

Joline
