WHERE TO SPEND A SUNNY DAY BY THE POOL IN MALTA
The sun's shining in full blast and although heading over to your nearest beach is the first thing that usually springs to mind, some people prefer to spend a lazy day by the pool.
There are tons of pros when chilling it poolside. No hassle of sea water, no jellyfish anxiety, the avoiding of beach sellers, not getting sand in places where sand should not be, less people and closer amenities.
Here's my list of awesome outdoor pools/lidos that will have your back when you want to... lie on your back by the pool.
