Slow
the image rotation by "left clicking" in the picture and then
use "click - hold - drag" to get total control. Use the small
tools located bottom left corner to zoom in or revert to auto rotate. The
image has a large file size and may take a few moments to load. Try
tilting the image down towards the sea to get an idea of how high the
cliffs are and the spectacular view from the small plateau where the tower
is positioned.
The applet shows a 360 degree panoramic image
taken close to the Ghajn Tuffieha Tower located high on the cliffs separating
Golden Bay and Ghajn Tuffieha Bay located on the north
east coast of Malta. "Ghajn Tuffieha" literally translates into the "Eye of the Apple". This is one of the many towers that were build during the times of the Knights of
Malta to warn of Corsair raiding parties and other such scallywags hanging
around at that time. A full "e-book" about the Knights of Malta
has been published by The Teamusk Times for people interested in that
period of history: Knights
of Malta, 1523-1798
My original idea was to try
and capture a "widescreen" panoramic photo of the now famous
Golden Bay Radisson Hotel Complex located on the cliff top overlooking the
glorious sandy beach of Golden Bay. This was achieved by rock scrabbling
along the bottom of the cliffs and rounding the headline. The Traverse and Rock
Scrabble a Cautionary Tale.

Radisson SAS Golden Sands Resort & Spa
The most exclusive five-star resort in Malta, the Radisson SAS Golden Sands Resort & Spa is located on the edge of a cliff overlooking the unique Sandy Beach. This brand new resort offers unforgettable views of the breathtaking sea and the countryside, alongside luxurious accommodation and the very best in hospitality service.
The average "daily" room rates off-season are around 200 euros rising to over 400 euros in peak season, so luxury really does come at a high price!

The resort is a short drive from St. Paul's Bay and the town of
Bugibba, where perfectly acceptable self catering
accommodation can be booked for as little as 19 euros per day. It takes 15 minutes by bus to reach Golden Bay from Bugibba with regular buses running
throughout the day.
