Il-Majjistral Nature & History Park — Attraction in Mellieha

I'm going to leave some practical details that are missing from the other reviews, that I wish I had known before hand:

We nearly missed the entrance which lies between some derelict buildings and is marked with just a faded plaque where the name of the park is written with the thinnest font in existence. Thank God for the lovely lady at the Farmoury shop who saw us rambling wide eyed and confused.

There is no signage within the park whatsoever. There's an online map, but paths are not always well defined and landmarks are unknown to us, so you never know where you are or if you are even within the park perimeter anymore.

Nearly alone all the way. May be a bit windy. Highly recommend, well in contrast to Valletta/Mdina tourists destinations.

If you would start/finish from the Popey village bus stop, make sure you get there/from by bus or taking cab. The road there is so narrow for...

Good exercises! We lost somewhere in there. Spent one hour to find way out again. The place has not got any guide path. Free style explore go anywhere as you wish. Spent three hours in the coast line beautiful view with fresh air. We would like to coming back again.

Great thanks for the owner's reply. Don't get me wrong, we could see the direction from bottom of the clif, but how to find a way up there was a big...
