8 Beautiful Villages Worth Visiting (2 of 5)

2. Marsaxlokk, Malta

If you’re making your way to Malta, no trip would be complete without a visit to Marsaxlokk, a name that looks like something your cat would end up typing if it walked across your keyboard. This fishing village is famous for, well, its fish. The colorful boats (known locally asluzzus) that dot the harbor add to the tranquil scenery as well. It’s worth about 15 minutes of your time, and then you head to the Tex-Mex restaurant on Triq Tat Trunciera street for lunch. But, like, why would you go all the way to Malta to eat there?

3. Gasadalur, Faroe Islands, Denmark

The village of Gasadalur isn’t the easiest place to get to, which probably explains why only 18 people have felt it necessary to go through the trouble to call it home. It’s located at the edge of a tall cliff and surrounded by mountains, which makes for incredible views. You can even visit the puffins! Not really. No puffins in Gasadalur. But we sure got you excited for a second, didn’t we?
