Walking in Malta: 33 Routes on Malta, Gozo and Comino Paperback – August 6, 2013

Yes, there are plenty of fields to be standing out in on Malta, Gozo, and Comino, as well as stunning beaches, cliffs, fascinating towns, ancient ruins and multi-cultural bustling cities. This walking guide will show you the very best facets of the islands at a pace that matches the local one. It gives crystal clear, easy to follow directions, provides accurate detailed topo maps of the routes and provides a chatty, interesting running commentary to keep you company on your hike. You can even avoid renting a car with the useful information about public transit provided. The islands of Malta are a rare gem, but they are quickly becoming overdeveloped in places - buy this book, book your flight and go before they are spoilt forever.

I thought we would use this book to plan our walks around the island when we vacationed there for a week. I learned that it would take more than an hour to get to each of these walks (except one) and they mostly show off the arid countryside. We found it much more interesting to take a bus to the areas we really wanted to see and spend our time in museums and on the water. Maybe if we were there for 3 months instead of just a week we would have appreciated this book more.
