If you exit the balustrade Lower Barraca Gardens in Valletta, the contrary, through the waters of Grand Harbour, just see a piece of rocky coast on the screen soldiers stormed the Orlando Bloom.
Malta Brad Pitt was so impressed that he returned to the island accompanied by his charming beauty Angelina Jolie.He brought here his new project, the sci-fi thriller about zombies "World War Z».
What was once known only to the British (and kept this knowledge to himself), it is now known, and the Hollywood elite (Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks count): this island in the Mediterranean Sea - a fabulous playing area.At the same time here speak English, they are paying in euros, enjoy local wine and Sicilian products.
So are you ready to relax like Brad Pitt?Living in a hotel, where he returned from filming, order wine at his favorite restaurant, to go to his gym and go to the places of his military glory?
Record.
St. Julian
«Troy" was filmed 11 weeks.Most of this time Brad Pitt spent on the island, accompanied by his wife, the charming Jennifer Enniston.Yeah, it was back in the days when Enniston was first lady.
Star couple lived in the town of St Julian's, and stayed in two hotels - Intercontinental (St George's Bay, Saint Julian's, Island of Malta) and the Westin Dragonara (5 Dragonara Rd, Saint Julian's, Island of Malta).Officially, the number of rooms, where they lived and Enniston Pitt, are not made public, but the hotels themselves knowledgeable people from the staff prompt you.
So if you are persistent - to book for themselves the same hotel apartments.But there is even preserved the bed ...
And you remember those abdominal muscles, the shoulders raised?- They do not dorisovyvali in the installation.Brad Pitt to keep fit, spending hours in gyms of both hotels.Their doors are open to you.There still are the same bikes, which he pedaled.
Fort Ricasoli
Palace of King Priam and the very gate through which rolled a Trojan horse, were built here, at the very mouth of the Grand Harbour, on the other side of Valletta.After shooting scenery demolished: another unforgivable act of Hollywood towards humanity.
But you can not deny myself the pleasure to pass on these tracks and photographed against the backdrop of the landscape?
Gagné Tuffieha
in Maltese written as: Ghajn Tuffieha.It is at this sandy beach filmed a significant portion of marine scenes 180000000th epic.Of course, it is difficult to enjoy the atmosphere of the film, when all around you sunbathing tourists.But Gagné Tuffieha this problem will not be.
Beach is located under the hills and down to it can only be walked down the steps (or strewn gravel bypass road).Not everybody likes it, so the site could maintain its beauty of the natural park.
On a sunny day, you'll find an umbrella, and even take a pedalo hire - but otherwise little civilization touched this place.Wait for the rest rolled their towels and went upstairs in search of dinner - alone and enjoy the most incredible sunset you will see in your life.
Golden Bay
director of "Troy" could not ignore the Golden Bay - one of the most picturesque beaches around the Mediterranean.Typical Maltese paradox: despite the popularity, the beach is not turned into an industrial plant maintenance tourists.This is still a natural park, hitting its pristine beauty.If you go to Malta in the footsteps of Brad Pitt, Golden Bay can not do.
Mdina
So, go to the heavy artillery.As far as we can understand, Brad Pitt never regretted that has consented to shooting in "Troy."This film is so went to benefit his career that the star next visit to Malta can be considered an upgrade.
Firstly, it is now accompanied Angelina Charming (no offense, Jennifer Charming, we also like very much).Secondly, now the star couple moved into a boutique hotel "Bowl" in the ancient capital Mdina.
If you have not heard about the Palace "Ball", which means you do not watch the TV channel Fox.Or look, but carefully.Because Fox named him one of the 10 best castle hotels all over the world.
There are only 17 rooms.And if you want to take a jacuzzi on the ramparts overlooking the two-thirds of the island (Mdina on a hill), it is nowhere except in the "Bowl."And if you're lucky, it will be the most hot tub, where Brad and Angelina - hereinafter.
But the time came for dinner, and appetite begins to remind yourself.But you come to Malta for a reason - you have a mission: to live like Brad Pitt.Nothing could be simpler: back up a table on the spot, that is in the restaurant of the hotel.It called by "De Mondion", and no words of praise, which would not have earned the restaurant itself or the star chef Kevin Bonello.
«Mondion" became a favorite place of the former Trojan.No wonder: the concept of haute cuisine takes on a literal meaning here.You sit on a terrace high above the bustle of the world, and enjoy views of the sun sinking in the vast waters of the Mediterranean.
After dinner walk through the winding streets of Mdina, squeezed between the walls, fleeing in the Middle Ages from the raids of the corsairs.Maybe see scribbled on yellow stone inscription "Here were Brad and Angelina."And they were here.Mellieha
So, you live in a room Pitt, eat at his restaurant and fully satisfied with life.But the family history will not forgive you if you do not visit in two places where untouched by Achilles.
First of all - Mellieha.Another historic town, though remaining in the XV century, in spite of the new infrastructure.It was abandoned for several centuries, since its walls were not given protection against pirates and Saracens.
Back here returned only in the XVIII century.But after two and a half centuries came here to shoot Brad Pitt "Troy."Walk through the streets, go on the coast - you will know the familiar landscapes of the film?
And if you liked this place so that you do not want to leave it - for you there is good news.Many of the luxury villas on the island rebuilt here, overlooking the Bay of Mellieha.You can rent, and can buy one or two.
Gozo
And here we leave Malta.Rather, we leave the island of Malta, but remain in the State Malta.Just we move to a nearby island, which is even smaller still pristine and picturesque.
Gozo.Embodiment idyll on the ground.It is clear why the crew did not resist and pitched his camp in the town Dwejra on the western coast.
And finally we have a direct connection with Homer.Because it is here, on these stones, the legendary Calypso lived in another of Homer's project - "The Odyssey."
But we are interested in something Brad Pitt.
