Why Marsaxlokk Harbour and Sunday Market matters
This is the best place on Malta to see traditional fishing boats. Their bright hulls fill the harbour, and on Sundays a big market takes over the waterfront with food, souvenirs and fish. Sit down to lunch beside the water and order what the boats caught.
Talking points
- Luzzu boats have a painted eye.
- The market is biggest on Sundays.
- Fish restaurants line the quay.
