Family Friendly The easiness of the trail combined with the diverse geology, great views and flowers, the old fort. Bring some water and sun hats / protection as shade is very scarce.

Be careful while hiking along the western coastline as the coast is vertical, and there are some other vertical drops created through the natural cave-formation process.

Overview

This easy hike loops around the island of Comino, giving hikers a great tour of the entire island.

Description

This is an easy hike that begins near the Comino hotel and the harbor. Comino is the smallest populated island of the Maltese archipelago, and it lacks traditional towns or villages. The trail initially heads west towards the Blue Lagoon and the islet of Cominoto, then turns south and gradually gains altitude as the limestone coast here becomes steeper, and eventually vertical. Once you reach the old fort, you turn back east along the southern coast and gradually make your way back north through a pastoral micro-valley, where you can enjoy the local and migrant bird life and flora.

Flora & Fauna

A large number of flowering plants in spring, migrant birds in spring and fall. Sardinian warblers breed on the island.
