Comino

Comino, the third largest Island in the Maltese Archipelago. There are still some inhabitants on Comino, the last I heard was that the population stood at 2. Many years ago a village community with plenty inhabitants thrived, but nowadays the Kemmunians are dying out! I would be the first one to move there if it were possible, no cars, no roads, just sea, sun and nature. The Island is around 3km², the most promininet structure being the Comino Hotel, a four star hotel, open between April and October. It offers normal hotel rooms plus bungalows on the other side of the Island. There is also a Police Station, with two policemen on duty, and a church where mass is held every Sunday morning.

There is lots to explore on the Islands, I have tried to walk the coast of Comino in one day and I didn't manage. You'll find a recently restored tower at the center of the Island, built by the Knights of Malta in the early sixteen hundreds. There is also a watch tower on the southern coast, probably built at the same era. You will also find remains of the village including a cemetary and a bakery.

Last but not least, go to Comino for the beaches scattered around the Island. The most popular two are Blue Lagoon and Santa Marija Bay. You can get a ferry to Comino from Cirkewwa, or get day trips from Bugibba. Comino lies between Malta & Gozo and it will take you about 30 minutes to get there by boat.
