The Salt Pans in Żebbuġ, Malta, offer a unique glimpse into traditional salt harvesting techniques that have been practiced for generations. These coastal salt pans are visually striking and provide excellent photo opportunities, especially during sunset. Visiting is free, and you can explore them at your own pace, making it suitable for both solo travelers and guided tours which are sometimes available locally to learn more about the process. Accessibility might be limited in some areas due to the uneven terrain of the salt pans. The best time to visit is during the drier months (May-September) when salt harvesting is in full swing. A typical visit might last between 1 to 2 hours, depending on your interest level.
