Situ\u00e9e entre Malte et Gozo, la petite \u00eele de Comino est un paradis pour les amateurs de plong\u00e9e libre, les plongeurs, les v\u00e9liplanchistes et les randonneurs. D'une superficie de seulement 3,5 kilom\u00e8tres carr\u00e9s, Comino est sans voiture et, \u00e0 l'exception d'un h\u00f4tel, est pratiquement inhabit\u00e9e.\u00a0La principale attraction de l'\u00eele est le Blue Lagoon. En \u00e9t\u00e9, cette crique abrit\u00e9e d'eau aigue-marine scintillante sur du sable blanc est tr\u00e8s populaire aupr\u00e8s des touristes d'un jour. Les autres plages de l'\u00eele sont la baie de Santa Marija et la baie de San Niklaw.<\/p>\n
Comino vaut \u00e9galement la peine d'\u00eatre visit\u00e9e en hiver, et est id\u00e9ale pour les marcheurs et les photographes. En l'absence de zones urbaines et de voitures sur l'\u00eele, on peut facilement sentir l'odeur du thym sauvage et d'autres herbes.<\/p>\n
Comino a \u00e9t\u00e9 habit\u00e9e \u00e0 l'\u00e9poque romaine, mais n'a pas eu beaucoup d'importance jusqu'\u00e0 l'arriv\u00e9e des chevaliers. Elle a alors jou\u00e9 un double r\u00f4le : terrain de chasse et \u00e9tape de la d\u00e9fense des \u00eeles maltaises contre les Turcs ottomans.<\/p>\n
L'\u00eele s'\u00e9tait av\u00e9r\u00e9e \u00eatre une base utile pour les pirates op\u00e9rant en M\u00e9diterran\u00e9e centrale et, bien qu'elle soit aujourd'hui aust\u00e8re et st\u00e9rile, elle abritait des sangliers et des li\u00e8vres \u00e0 l'arriv\u00e9e des chevaliers en 1530. Les Grands Ma\u00eetres n'ont pas m\u00e9nag\u00e9 leurs efforts pour prot\u00e9ger leur gibier \u00e0 Comino : quiconque \u00e9tait surpris \u00e0 enfreindre l'embargo sur la chasse \u00e9tait passible de trois ans de gal\u00e8re.<\/p>\n
Apr\u00e8s la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Comino est rest\u00e9e en retrait jusqu'\u00e0 ce que le tourisme lui permette de rena\u00eetre au milieu des ann\u00e9es 1960.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":1728,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"class_list":{"0":"post-1727","1":"mphb_room_service","2":"type-mphb_room_service","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"mphb-service-free"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tamariemerhba.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mphb_room_service\/1727","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tamariemerhba.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mphb_room_service"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tamariemerhba.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/mphb_room_service"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tamariemerhba.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1727"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tamariemerhba.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1728"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tamariemerhba.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
