If you have decided to see this amazing country, good on you. But Malta isn’t just the main island; there are two smaller islands that you should explore on your trip. The islands of Gozo and Comino are easily reached by ferry from the Ċirekewwa Port on the main island.
My trip in Malta was nearly a week, most of which I spent on the main island, whereas I spent 1 day each in Gozo and Comino. One solid day is good enough to be able to enjoy each island’s offerings. This post will focus on what you should consider seeing on the Maltese island of Comino. A Google Map of all the places I will talk about can be found at the end of this post.
If you decided to stay in the capital city of Valletta like me, getting to Cirekewwa Port (en route to Gozo), couldn’t be any easier. I picked up a 12 trip bus pass (€15) from a tourist shop and took bus 41/42 from Valletta to Cirekewwa. The bus ride takes 60-80 minutes, depending on the traffic. From there, you simply follow the signs to the Gozo ferry. It is THAT easy.
You can check the ferry times for Comino here. You will note that ferries only go during the daytime, with the earliest leaving Cirekewwa at 9:10am and the last ferry leaving Comino at 4pm. To maximize your time there, try planning on taking the earlier ferry to and the latest ferry from Comino.

If you have made it to the ferry, you will most likely see that the Blue Lagoon is the main reason why people decide to head to Comino. Who can blame them? The Blue lagoon is a strip of area just a few mins walk from the Crystal Lagoon, where the boat drops you off and has the most pristine waters in Malta.
