Map of Ferries to Malta
Ferry routes to Malta cross the Malta Channel from the southern tip of Sicily, depositing you straight into the historic Grand Harbour of Valletta. Virtu Ferries is the largest operator here, running massive high-speed catamarans out of Pozzallo that take under two hours. Bringing a vehicle lets you easily bypass the dense urban transit network around the capital. From this central Mediterranean hub, you can also catch local boats heading north to Sicilia or to Pantelleria.
