Situated between Malta and Gozo, the smaller island of Comino is a paradise for snorkellers, divers, windsurfers and walkers. Only 3.5 square kilometers, Comino is car-free and apart from one hotel, is entirely uninhabited. The island’s main attraction is the Blue Lagoon. In summer, this sheltered inlet of shimmering aquamarine water over white sand is very popular with day-trippers.
Comino is also worth a visit in winter, and is ideal for walkers and photographers. With no urban areas or cars on the island, one can easily smell the scent of wild thyme and other herbs. The Island had proved a useful base for pirates operating in the central Mediterranean and though stark and barren today, it was home to wild boar and hares when the Knights arrived in 1530. The Grand Masters went to great lengths to ensure that their game on Comino was protected: anyone found breaking the embargo on hunting could expect to serve three years as a galley slave.
After WWII, Comino remained a backwater until its fortunes revived with tourism in the mid-1960s.
