Skip private charters under 6 people — the per-person maths doesn&rsquo;t work.</div> </div> </div> <p>The Maltese sunset is the easiest &ldquo;wow&rdquo; in your trip. The whole western coast is limestone cliff and bastion wall, the sun sinks straight into the sea between Comino and Gozo, and on a clear July evening you&rsquo;ll watch a thousand-year-old skyline turn pink for forty minutes. You can see it from the <strong>Upper Barrakka Gardens</strong> for free, and you should at least once. But the boat-borne version — drink in hand, Comino on the horizon, Valletta lit up behind you — is one of those tourist clichés that earns its cliché status.</p>
