Family Tours in Malta

While the temperatures keep rising, more and more tourists come over to the Malta for a well deserved break. The clear blue sky and sea are ideal to drain down the stress accumulated during winter.

For all those families coming over to Malta for a break, we are offering half and full day tours tailor made to feature the very best of Malta. Some families would have already visited Valletta and Mdina, as the main historical sites in Malta. We have a lot more to show you! ....villages, way side chapels, view points, places rich in nature, archaeology, traditions and culture. We are aware that some places are difficult to get to, by using public transport. While recommending the hiring of a car or a chauffeur driven service, we can organise an experience and have you escorted by one of our expert guides.

Send us an email for more info on info@merillecotours.com or call us on 00356 7941 1388.


P.S...we also organise these experiences for locals...have a look at this clip to get a feel of what we do.

Beat the heat this summer...stay fresh with us at Merill Eco Tours!

Mdina, la cité du silence


Autrefois capitale de Malte, la petite ville de Mdina vous accueille dans une douce atmosphère médiévale. Surnommée ville du silence, la quiétude du lieu fait précisément l’attrait  essentiel de ce village. Cachée derrière  ses remparts, Mdina est une ville fascinante qui mérite d’être vue.
Vous remarquerez que si certaines rues baignent dans la lumière, la plupart d’entre elles sont plongées dans l’obscurité. Cela ne vous empêchera pas de pendre plaisir à musarder dans les ruelles de la ville. En effet, Mdina regorge de petites boutiques, de cafés et de restaurants où il fait bon de se reposer et de profiter d’un moment de détente en famille ou entre amis.

Mdina était et reste le berceau des familles nobles de Malte. C’est pourquoi, en poursuivant votre promenade, vous apercevrez de-ci de-là d’imposantes demeures et de palais aux façades couleur de miel.

Au détour des ruelles, ne manquez pas de visiter la cathédrale saint Paul, avec ses deux clochers et sa coupole, cet édifice de style baroque fait partie du patrimoine exceptionnel de l’île. Mdina abonde en richesses culturelles et historiques : les musées et les attractions vous feront revivre l’épopée historique de la cité.

D’une identité et d’une richesse culturelle bien à elle, Mdina est une ville qui a su finalement garder son authenticité et son atmosphère paisible.

Agriculture in Malta

Tempting strawberries
One of the best ways to enjoy local flora and fauna is to visit agricultural areas around Malta and Gozo. Rubble walls, soil, trees and corebelled stone huts form excellent habitats to a wide variety of species. At the moment strawberry plants are producing huge quantities of strawberries, while Japanese Medlars are just ripe. Agricultural land is not only useful to produce food but also has a recreational value for those who visit rural areas on Sundays to escape from the weekly chaos. Picnicking is one of the most preferred activities of locals during the cooler months. Those who are more adventurous opt for trekking. 

Tourists also appreciate the agricultural landscape and look for rural areas and their treasures during their stay in Malta. Agri-Tourism experiences are not as common as in other countries like Italy. That doesn't mean there are no options available. Since we started providing tours for locals and tourists, we felt that this area can be developed further. The local people will surely benefit since they are the owners and managers of the agricultural land.  Traditions and culture are very evident in the practices carried out in rural areas. Thus, promoting and providing such experiences can help in conserving traditions through the education of locals and tourists.
