MALTA, MARSAXLOKK WALKING TOUR - Market and Fishing Boats
Marsaxlokk is a small, fishing village on the South East coast of Malta. It's famous for its picturesque harbour, brightly painted fishing boats known as luzzu and kajjik (with their characteristic painted eyes on the prow - 'the Eye of Osiris',) and the Marsaxlokk Market. This is a major fish market that takes place on Sundays - the tourist market taking place the rest of the week.
Filmed on a Sunday, we'll see part of the fish market as well as some of the most noted restaurants along the way.
We begin our walk on a jetty at the end of Xatt is-Sajjieda, the road that stretches along the seafront. The bright luzzu and kajjik boats bob in the harbour, their characteristic blue, red, yellow and green paintwork reflected in the water. It's immediately obvious why Marsaxlokk is one of the best day trips from Valletta, and leads the top 10 things to do in Malta if you're visiting.
There's so many places to eat in Marsaxlokk, many with gorgeous views over the harbour - from Costa Coffee to Harbour Lights, Roots Restaurant, La Nostra Padrona Restaurant, Pisces Restaurant Marsaxlokk and Cafe De Paris - naming just a few.
It's a perfect place to sit out and people watch - but make sure to book if you're visiting on a Sunday.
We continue our walk by following Triq Il Wilga, passing the rated Tartarun restaurant and Terrone to follow the line of boats out to the end of the quay.

Visit Marsaxlokk Island in Malta
Marsaxlokk means South Eastern Harbor, the harbor that gives a happy picture especially on a weekends when a flee market is held along the bank of the bay. The fishermen pay attention to the painting of their boats the colors are the same, blue, yellow, green, red. Yet you can not find two similarly painted boats on the harbor. Osiris' eye is painted on their sides which protect the boat and its owner that the Ganza reminds us of the gandalos in Venice.
The Kajik is like a boat while the bigger parts mainly used by the fisherman are called luzo. The shapes and colors of the boats have not really change since the time of the Phoenicians. Of course there is fisher market everyday at the bay after the fisherman arrives with there latest catch. This is completed with the vegetable market. The products are delivered by ship from the Island of Gozo. On Saturdays and Sundays there are second hand markets. It seems that the local people prefer markets to the shopping centers. One can hardly named a thing that can not be obtained here.
Marsaxlokk has no famous monuments but its overall picture is typically Maltese. Napoleon landed here in 1798 but we can not find any memory of this fact. We can find some pleasant terrace cafes in fish restaurants along the coast.

Scenes from Marsaxlokk, Malta
Marsaxlokk is a traditional fishing village located in the south-eastern part of Malta. The village’s name comes from marsa, which means port and xlokk, which is the local name for south east. The word is related to the name for the dry sirocco wind that blows from the Sahara, comparable to the equivalent Catalan word, xaloc. The village is known for the Marsaxlokk Market, a large market which takes place around the whole village on Sundays and tourist market all days during the week. The inhabitants of the village are called the Xlukkajri and are historically fishermen.
Marsaxlokk is about 40 minutes from Valletta by public bus No. 81 or No. 85. The village is approached via a long, narrow, straight, road with vineyards on both sides, or along the coast from Birzebbuga if traveling on the No. 85. The bay is at the south-east end of the island and is memorable for the many colourful, traditional fishing boats called luzzu . The painted eyes on these luzzus are believed to protect the boats from danger. Tourists visit the town for the picturesque photo opportunities of the bay filled with colourful fishing boats, plethora of seafood restaurants and the very busy Sunday market that sells everything from fish, fruit and vegetables, delicatessen goods and groceries, to souvenirs, clothing and footwear. Another attraction is the nearby, spectacular, Saint Peters Pool. This is a swimming area with crystal clear, deep blue water behind the Delamara Power Station. It is not advisable to visit when the wind is from the South or East however, as the water can become cloudy and sometimes, rough.
