While in Malta, our tour guide suggested that we make sure to try a local snack known as pastizzi. The pastizzi is a pastry filled with either ricotta cheese or mushy peas. You can find these from local cafes or street vendors, and they cost less than a euro a piece. We bought ours to try from the snack stand in the Upper Barracka Gardens before heading back to the ship. While it was tasty, I don’t think we’d have to have one every day. But they are definitely worth the try; we had a ricotta one.
In June 2013, we sailed on back-to-back Disney Cruises in the Mediterranean. Highlights included ports with access to Florence, Rome, Venice, Athens, Ephesus, Dubrovnik, Naples, Malta, Mykonos, Villefranche, and Barcelona. We began this blog in the planning stages, posted during the trip itself, and are continuing to share not only our experiences, but information we learned along the way. We hope our blog will be useful to others planning visits to the Mediterranean whether by land or by sea.
