By ferry: Regular ferries run between the islands of Malta, Gozo and Comino, meaning you can visit them all with ease. You’ll find the island’s longest sand spot at Mellieha Bay, on the northern coast. And the db Seabank Resort & Spa places you just a flip-flop’s throw from its Mediterranean waters. While Golden Bay hugs the northwestern side of the island, hiding away some of Malta’s top toe-sinking beaches. Holidays to the Greek islands aren’t limited to sun lounging and feta-eating. If you’re looking for a party scene to rival Ibiza, Mykonos is it! Behind its pretty facade, this island is host to the wildest celeb hotspot in the Med.
