Malta South Coast Nature Walking Private Tour, Appreciate The Beauty Of Nature And Learn About Malta’s Biodiversity From An Experienced And Fully Qualified Botanist

Description

The southern coast of Malta is characterized by several limestone bays and rocky beaches outlined by shallow cliffs about 20-40m above sea level. The bedrock is composed of a very erodible ochre-coloured globigerina limestone, which eroded over thousands of years sculpting it into natural, sometimes bizarre-looking rock figures.

This walk is mostly along the beaten footpaths wandering on low coastal cliffs at the margin of the southeast coast, well away from the noise and chaos of the hectic cities.

Agriculture and large farmhouses predominate these areas, although some have been abandoned, this area is also known for the old fishing villages, where the fishing industry is characterized by many traditional fishing boats and a large fishing market.

A very enjoyable walk, rambling amidst the greens, ochres and blues of the fields, local limestone, and fascinating seascapes. Several coastal plants and shrubs, including the endemic Maltese salt tree, are present.

Highlights of this tour include natural rock formations and sea-eroded rock sculptures; several beaches and bays, including the popular Saint Peter’s Pool; the old fishing village of Marsaxlokk; traditional salt pans dating hundreds of years; Fort Delimara (a defence battery built by the British between 1876 and 1888), and several terraced fields margined with the iconic dry-stone rubble walls.
