A heads up: buses aren't super frequent here. Renting a scooter saved us a lot of hassle and we got to explore the surrounding areas at our own pace.
Stayed two nights and felt like it was just right. Quiet village vibes with some nice coastal views. Not for party lovers but great for chill time.
Weather was perfect for cliff walks but get ready for strong winds on the Dingli Cliffs. Loved the fresh seafood, want to come back to try more local spots.
Food options were decent but a bit pricey. I'd say skip peak summer, it's quite crowded and hot. Mild spring is much better for exploring on foot.
If you want the best view with fewer tourists, hit the Dingli Cliffs just before sunset midweek. Also, don’t miss out on the bakery in the village square, best pastizzi around.
