Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Comino Island, part of the Maltese archipelago, is situated between the islands of Malta and Gozo. It covers an area of just 3.5 square kilometers, making it a small yet captivating spot for tourists. With only a handful of permanent residents, the island promises a tranquil retreat. The Blue Lagoon is the island's most famous attraction, drawing visitors with its crystal-clear waters ideal for swimming and snorkeling. The island is characterized by its rocky shores, sparse vegetation, and rugged cliffs. Its strategic location has woven it into the historical tapestry of Malta, with the medieval Santa Marija Tower serving as a notable landmark. Bird watching is a favored activity as the island serves as a resting place for birds migrating across the Mediterranean. While mostly undeveloped, Comino offers a slice of untouched nature perfect for those seeking quiet walks or simply to enjoy the vistas of the Mediterranean Sea.
