More Information

Wied iż-Żurrieq, situated between the Blue Grotto and Ħaġar Qim temples, is a valley renowned for its natural beauty. The area features landmarks such as Il-Majlia, a shallow inlet historically used by women and children for safe swimming, and Il-Ħmara, a submerged rock that marked a safe swimming zone for non-swimmers. “Ġebla tiċċaqlaq” (literally “moving rock”), a large rock that moves during storms, adds to the valley’s intriguing natural features. Visitors can explore popular swimming and diving spots, including Il-Kamra it-Tonda and Iż-Żurżieqa. Historically, the valley was one of Malta’s key fishing harbours. In the 1960s, traditional boats were replaced by the Fregatina, a sturdy boat used to transport visitors to the Blue Grotto.
