This video will take you for a relaxing walk along the beautiful harbour of Marsaxlokk Malta. You will experience the colourful boats, fish market, seafood restaurants, clothing goods, and Maltese men and women as they go about their daily business.
Marsaxlokk Malta is the epitome of traditional Mediterranean island life. Here’s a quaint fishing village sprawling around a natural harbour in the south of the island of Malta. Visiting is like taking a stroll back in time.
Everyone seems to be painting their boat, fixing their nets or selling their fish. Elderly men gather on benches dotted along the esplanade, smoking cigarettes and reciting stories. The salt from the sea seems etched into their weathered faces.
Marsaxlokk is a concoction of old lowrise houses and narrow streets set around a sheltered port. The scene is bright with the bold red, blue, yellow and green splashes of colour from the luzzu fishing boats. This village is home to most of Malta’s active fishermen. Their boats sway in the harbour, mirroring the slow pace of life typically associated with authentic Maltese village lifestyle.
The atmosphere is calm and serene, a perfect seaside escape to chill out and unwind.
The greatest highlight of Marsaxlokk Malta is definitely its fish market. However, it sells far more than fish! Market stalls decorate the waterfront every morning of the week, reaching enormous proportions on a Sunday. Apart from being several times bigger, the Sunday market is a popular spot to socialise for locals donning their Sunday best.
Besides fresh fish and seafood, expect local fresh produce as well as homemade jams, wine, local honey and more. Maltese handicrafts, such as traditional Maltese lace, and quirky souvenirs adorn countless more stalls. Expect also an eclectic mix of knickknacks, clothes, shoes, toys, plants and everything else under the sun.
But it’s all gone by noon, so get there early. Another draw to ditching your sleep for an early rise is watching the fisherman bringing in their fresh catch at sunrise, directly from their luzzu to the market stalls.
