Xelter tal-Gwerra
About
Xelter tal-Gwerra serves Malta from Triq il-Kappillan Magri in Il-Mellieħa, at the island's northern end. Visitors rate it 4.8 out of 5 across 536 reviews, one of the stronger showings among the island's attractions.
Malta has no passenger railway, and buses cover both Malta and Gozo, with traffic driving on the left, so reaching Mellieħa from Valletta, Sliema, St. Julian's, Paceville, Birgu, Mdina, Rabat or Mosta means a bus ride or a drive north along the coast road. Autumn rain refills the reservoirs, and winter is mild enough for walking the coastal paths.
The Mediterranean climate brings hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters, which shapes when the site is busiest. Mellieħa sits at the top of the island, so a visit pairs naturally with a day spent in the north.
The Knights of St John ruled the islands from 1530 to 1798, and the British stayed until independence in 1964, leaving layers of fortification across the landscape. That history gives the northern coast its particular character.
