Once you reach Kalkara, follow the signs to Villa Bighi, which will be located along the waterfront.

Taxi

You can also take a taxi from St. Julian's to Villa Bighi. Simply find a taxi stand in the area or book one through a ride-hailing app. The ride will take around 15 minutes, depending on traffic. Inform the driver you want to go to 'Villa Bighi, Dawret Fra Giovanni Bichi, Kalkara.'
