Il-Qajjenza Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Marsaxlokk is the main fishing harbour in Malta and it’s base for 70% of the island’s fishing fleet. It is the best place to see the Luzzus, the traditional Maltese fishing boats which all have the mythical eye of Osiris painted on their prows. It is quite a scenery to see such a colorful bay; however, the smell of fish can be quite intense sometimes. http://www.geekyexplorer.com/malta-the-underrated-island-bliss/
