🚤 Colourful Luzzus of Marsaxlokk 🚤

Few sights are more recognisable in Malta than the colourful luzzus bobbing in the waters of Marsaxlokk Harbour. 

These traditional fishing boats have been part of Maltese life for centuries and are instantly recognisable by their bright colours and the painted Eye of Osiris on the bow, believed to offer protection and good fortune at sea.

Although many luzzus are still used for fishing today, they have also become a symbol of Malta's rich maritime heritage. 

Early mornings in Marsaxlokk are especially busy as local fishermen return with their catch, while visitors can enjoy the harbour, waterfront cafés, and the famous Sunday fish market.
