Know Your Destination

1. Honor tradition. Comino Island has been a haven for knights, pirates and the wealthy for centuries. Its remote location and beautiful weather have made it a place for hunting, fishing and relaxing for generations of vacationers.
2. Travel to Comino Island any time of year. The Mediterranean weather and ample beaches make the Maltese Islands a year round vacation destination.

Arrange Transportation

3. Realize that Comino Island cannot be accessed directly by airplane. Travelers can take a plane to Malta International Airport, a helicopter to neighboring Gozo and a ferry to Comino.
4. Plan on using ferries and shuttles to get from place to place on Comino Island. The island does not allow automobile traffic, keeping Comino free from air pollution and vehicle noise.
5. Use the island chain's close proximity to your advantage. Trips to the big islands of Malta and Gozo are easy to plan on a moment's notice and provide greater opportunities for world travelers interested in taking in the whole Maltese experience.

Find Accommodations

6. To book accommodations, contact Malta Tourism Authority at [phone] or visit their Web site (see Resources below).
7. Set up accommodations in Malta or Gozo. Comino Island only has one resort hotel. Reserving a hotel room on one of the bigger islands will offer more competitive pricing.
8. Consider using Comino's only hotel resort. With the beach only minutes away by foot, travelers can save the time they spend in ferries for sunbathing and swimming.
9. Pitch a tent. Since there is only one hotel on Comino Island, the other option is camping.

Visit Local Attractions

11. Take in the historical monuments of the Maltese Islands. With day trips to Gozo's Ggantija Temple and the historic village of Victoria, vacationers can mix in some cultural exploration with their sun bathing.
