About this destination
A 1-day island escape through Malta & Sicily, Italy — hand-planned by Rachana, with where to stay, what to do and where to eat all mapped out.
My experience
This is Rachana's own 1-day itinerary for Malta & Sicily, Italy — the version she'd plan for a close friend. It threads together stays she rates like Villa Ducale and June 11, a day-by-day plan, and the meals worth booking ahead. Everything here is personally travelled and curated — no filler.
