Comino (Kemmuna in Malti) is a small, barren chunk of limestone wedged smack-bang between Malta and Gozo. It was once reportedly the hideout of pirates and smugglers, and its remoteness saw it used as a place of isolation for cholera and plague victims in the early 19th century. The almost empty island – there’s just one hotel here – is a breathtakingly beautiful place, ringed by caves and sea cliffs. It’s home to the Blue Lagoon, one of Malta’s loveliest and most-visited natural attractions. In summer, hordes of day trippers descend from Malta and Gozo, but in spring, autumn and winter you’ll have a better chance of enjoying the turquoise waters.
