Arriving by Ferry
Virtu Ferries operates a year-round service between Valletta and Pozzallo in Sicily, with crossings taking around 90–110 minutes. Vehicles can be taken on board, and departures are frequent enough for day or weekend trips.
Travellers often enjoy combining their Malta stay with onward road or rail journeys in Sicily.
Malta International Airport
MIA, sometimes referred to locally as Luqa Airport, lies just 8 km from Valletta. Journeys to St Julian’s or Sliema take around 15–25 minutes by taxi. Frequent public transport also connects the airport to main localities across Malta.
This means you can be checked in and enjoying the seafront shortly after landing.
Airport & Ferry Transfers
For extra convenience, we can arrange a meet-and-greet transfer. A driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall to help with luggage and take you directly to your accommodation. Pick-ups from the Valletta ferry terminal can also be organised.
This door-to-door option is ideal for late arrivals, families and first-time visitors.
However you choose to travel, Malta is easy to reach and even easier to enjoy. With quick connections, short transfer times and optional pre-arranged services, you can focus on the island’s sunshine, bays and historic towns from the moment you arrive.
