5 Stellar Activities To Get The Most Out Of Summer
by Chiara Micallef
Summer's end is almost here, and while most of us are counting down the days, others are already weeping their favourite season's end.
For the latter bunch, September means one thing: they need to get their act together and enjoy this season's last month with bells and whistles.
From pyrotechnic displays to camping trips, in this article, you can find a list of activities that will help you make the most out of summer's last few weeks.
1. Enjoy The Firework Shows
If you are on the lookout for some beast fireworks and a stellar pyrotechnic performance, the end of summer will definitely be your last chance to catch a glimpse of these sky beauties.
Several villages in Malta, such as Naxxar, Senglea and Mellieha — along with Valletta, organise mind-blowing firework shows on Victory Day that consist of a medley of petards, synchronised fireworks and other wondrous pyrotechnic displays.
2. Visit An Island
Whether it's Gozo or Comino, visiting one of Malta's sister islands is a lush way to catch a break and relax this year. If your idea of relaxing is lounging on a beach and swimming in crystal-clear waters, or hiking around and sleeping under the stars, Gozo and Comino are your ideal stops this September.
3. Go On A Week-Long Adventure
If you do not mind the heat and love the outdoors, you could opt for a week-long camping trip that will help you reconnect with nature. Camping is a great way to de-stress and unwind from life's everyday pressures — and you could always choose somewhere relatively close to a beach for cool evening breezes.
4. Go For A Hike Or A Swim
Or both. You can go for a lovely hike and a dip in Malta's lovely seas. Not only will this activity help you unwind, but it's a great way to spend time with family and friends. If you are looking for a great hike and swim trail, you can read this article for some inspiration.
5. Organise A BBQ
What better way to enjoy the end of summer than pigging out at a very Maltese barbecue? Whether you're into veggie burgers or marinated beef kebabs and greasy sausages, this is a great way to show off your cooking skills.
