Seagull Penthouse Marsaxlokk

Marsaxlokk is a small, traditional fishing village in the Southern Region of Malta. It has a harbour, and is a tourist attraction known for its views, fishing and history. The village is also known for the Marsaxlokk Market, which is mainly a large fish market which takes place along the seafront on Sundays, and a tourist market during all other days of the week. Inhabited and well-known since antiquity, Marsaxlokk was used as a port by Phoenicians, Carthaginians and also has the remains of a Roman-era harbour. Originally a part of the city of Żejtun, the fishing village became a separate parish in the late nineteenth century.

As soon as you arrive in Marsaxlokk, you'll be greeted by a stunning array of traditional Maltese fishing boats, called Luzzus, painted in bright shades of blue, red, and yellow. These boats are not just for show - they are still used by local fishermen to catch fresh fish every day. Make sure to take a stroll along the promenade and admire the boats up close.

One of the highlights of Marsaxlokk is its Sunday fish market, where locals and tourists alike come to buy fresh seafood and other local products. You'll find everything from octopus and squid to swordfish and prawns, as well as traditional sweets and handmade crafts. It's a feast for the senses, with the smells and sounds of the market adding to the lively atmosphere.
