Zurrieq Valley

Wied iz-Zurrieq and the adjacent Blue Grotto are popular sites for swimming, diving, snorkelling and to enjoy relaxing days in Mediterranean waters

Zurrieq Valley or Wied iz-Zurrieq is located by one of the most popular sites in Malta, the Blue Grotto, just off the town of Zurrieq. It is a popular area with both locals and visitors. From Wied iz-Zurrieq or Zurrieq Valley you have beautiful panoramic sea views over the beautiful blue Mediterranean Sea and over the small island Filfla.

The entry to the water is from a small dock and the water here is deep and only recommended for those who know how to swim well. In summer this small dock gets very busy with the traditional Luzzus taking tourists to Blue Grotto. Wied iz-Zurrieq is very popular with divers as there is the Um El Faroud wreck and also offers excellent snorkelling and underwater photography opportunities with several caves located near Wied iz-Zurrieq/Zurrieq Valley.

Zurrieq also offers very nice country walks with beautiful views and scenery.
