Marsaxlokk is situated in the middle of a protected bay, about 10 km away from Valletta. The image of Marsaxlokk is influenced by countless fishing boats. These colourful boats are called „Luzzus“ and swim all along the waterfront. Early in the morning when the fishing boats arrive in the port and the restaurant owners get fresh fish, Marsaxlokk fulfils all the expectations associated with a romantic fishing town.
