Fodor's Expert Review St. Paul's Island

St. Paul's Island, off the coast of Mistra, is the alleged site of the shipwreck of the eponymous apostle in Malta. He is said to have introduced Christianity to the islands, so is universally revered in all manner of sites across Malta. These days, barring a statue of the saint himself, there is little to see on these two barren specks of land joined by a narrow isthmus. The adventure is in getting here, either by boat or kayak, to escape the bustle of the resorts and Jet skis that infest St. Paul's Bay, to explore caves used as bomb shelters, and to snorkel hidden waters.
