Comino lies between Malta and Gozo, with one hotel and almost no traffic. The Blue Lagoon, between Comino and Cominotto, is one of the most famous swims in the Mediterranean.
Take a morning boat, swim before the crowds, then walk to the Santa Marija tower.
Go early, or stay after the day boats leave.
Our advice: bring water and shade; there is little of either.
