This is the largest town in the northern part of the island, and is where Malta’s largest beach—Ghadira Beach— is located. The northern arm of the bay is part of a large peninsula, and you will find more hotels and resorts on its northern coast, just a mile from Comino. This is also the site of the northernmost ferry terminal on the island, where you can get transportation to Comino, Gozo, and other parts of Malta Island. Many Mellieha holidays will include sailing and scuba diving excursions. You can charter boats in Mellieha as well as from the northern ferry terminal. The best spots for diving are along the western side of the peninsula from Paradise Bay to Anchor Bay. In fact, at Anchor Bay you can put in for a visit to the island’s most quirky attraction. Called Popeye Village, this is the set for the 1980 film Popeye.
The Temple of Poseidon was built atop the ruins of a previous temple in the year 440 BC. The original temple was destroyed by the Persians in 480 BC. It is rumored that the architect who designed the Temple of Hephaistos at the ancient agora in Athens is the same that designed the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion Greece. While the Temple of Hephaistos is better preserved, the Temple of Poseidon still retains several standing columns and it is easily understood how impressive it must once have been. During its heyday, the Temple of Poseidon in ancient Greece would have had 42 Doric columns, of which 16 remain today.
Near the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion there are the remains of a sanctuary that was built to honor Athena. Supposedly, the romantic poet, Lord Byron, inscribed his name here during one of his documented visits to Cape Sounion Greece.
The history of Prague and the Czech Republic is intricately linked with the development of Prague Castle, or “Hrad.” Today, the castle complex encompasses numerous Prague attractions: St. Vitus Cathedral, the Royal Palace, St. George’s Basilica, the Powder Tower, and other monuments, courtyards, and historic buildings. No trip to the Czech Republic is complete without exploring Prague Castle.
By the early tenth century, the Prague Castle complex was the home to the Czech head of state as well as the bishop of Prague. It is well worth a visit inside the massive basilica to see the dazzling stained glass windows, 21 chapels, and the royal crypt, which houses the remains of members of the Czech royal family.
