The popular and fashionable resort of Sliema developed from a quiet fishing village. Located on the peninsula across from Marsamxett Harbour in Malta’s capital of Valletta on the islands eastern side, Sliema is well liked by both families and couples. There is a superb choice of stylish restaurants, bars and cafes to enjoy particularly around the waterfront and busy promenade, and Sliema also offers a host of sophisticated boutiques and fashionable shops in the area called “The Ferries”, great for unique holiday purchases.
