Comino is a small island that is part of the Maltese archipelago. Measuring 3.5 square kilometres, the island is perfect for visitors who like swimming, snorkelling, diving or walking.
The island is almost uninhabited. It has no tarmacked roads and is completely car-free. The bright blue waters and its sandy beaches make it a perfect summer location for day trips full of adventure. In winter, the island lends itself beautifully towards long walks along the coast, where wild vegetation flourishes, free from human intervention.
Photographers will have a great time capturing nature in its element. Comino, in fact, is a designated nature reserve and bird sanctuary. Apart from the wildlife, the island hosts a small chapel and a watchtower that was built in the 17th century. You may also be interested in Santa Marija Battery, that was built in 1715 to protect the island. It is one of three surviving coastal batteries were there are still original 24-pounder cannons.
Enjoying Comino from a boat is a special experience, with views of the picturesque Blue Lagoon surrounding you, and crystal-clear azure water beneath. If peace and tranquillity are what you are seeking, Comino by boat is the best option for you.
