Comino

Comino, the small island between Malta and Gozo, has no cars and almost no residents. Its St Mary's Tower played the Château d'If, the island prison in The Count of Monte Cristo (2002), and Troy (2004) shot scenes at the Blue Lagoon.

The stops

  1. Saint Mary's Tower — The Château d'If in The Count of Monte Cristo. A walk inland from the Blue Lagoon.

Planning it

Boats run from Ċirkewwa and Mġarr. The Blue Lagoon is packed by late morning in summer: go on the first boat, or out of season.

Most of these places are a long bus ride apart. Our guide to renting a car in Malta covers parking in Valletta, the Gozo ferry and the road rules.
