You see, after walking along the coastal path, taking in the sights and Malta’s warm breeze, I stumbled across Fond Ghadir-one of Malta’s beaches. I know, I know, how can something “Roman” be Victorian? It can be seen in the art nouveau residences which remain on some of the inner streets, it can be seen on some of the prestigious Victorian properties on the seaside, and it can be seen in Sliema’s Roman Baths. Yet traces of the Victorian era can still be seen. But in the 1950’s the development in the area really kicked off, and so when you fast forward to today, you’ll find that Sliema is a densely populated town filled with coastal-loving locals and tourists alike.ĭue to the British influence (who ruled at the time), there used to be a lot of Victorian-style villas and townhouses in Sliema, however, the development which turned the area into the first resort town, saw many of these properties disappear. Back in the day, Sliema was a small village where fishermen and their families would reside. A system which runs on time and is well-connected, but can take an age to get anywhere! Because of this, I packed a bag ready for a full day of exploring-and with a rough route in mind, set off. However, the reviews of the hiring companies located near were a bit iffy, and the one company I found which wasn’t, didn’t have any cars available-so I ended up using the public transport system. As the ol’ locations of interest were all scattered across the island and in no way close to each other, I looked into hiring a car. ![]() ![]() There were numerous places I wanted to visit whilst in Malta-and in classic Amy Morgan fashion, none of them were close to one another. You see, after a day of roaming around Saint Paul’s Bay and relaxing at the Pebbles Resort Malta I was recharged and ready to spend the day exploring the island. Visiting the Sliema Roman Baths in Malta was something I did somewhat accidentally.
