You step out of a comfortable, Wi‑Fi–equipped sedan and the air smells of sea salt and sun-warmed limestone. The road curves above the Blue Grotto and sunlight punches through caverns, turning the water an impossible blue that dares you to lean closer. From there the route climbs to Ħaġar Qim, where weathered slabs of globigerina limestone mark rituals older than writing.
