“I lived for one year in Sliema in 2003. Really enjoyed everything like sun sea and restaurants and bars. Go back every few years and stayed in Hotel Plaza Regency in St.Julians. Always go for a morning and evening walk right upto the ferry ”

“Excellent one. There are 10000 videos or more on Malta but this is the only video which you need to see to decide what to do and where to stay in Malta. This video is so crisp and on point. I did not take any time to book a stay in Sliema. ”
