This authentic village preserves Malta's living fishing heritage, with local fishermen bringing in their fresh catch daily. The waterfront is lined with restaurants serving the island's best seafood, especially grilled octopus and lampuki fish.
Sunday morning for the famous fish market. Weekday mornings for fewer tourists and authentic atmosphere.

Sunday morning is best for the famous fish market (6am-1pm). Arrive early (7-9am) for the freshest fish and to avoid crowds. On other days, the village is quieter and more authentic. Sunset is great for photos with the colourful boats
