Destination: Malta

Welcome to the heart of the Mediterranean Sea! The archipelago of Malta is made up of two islands, Malta and Gozo and three smaller islands: Comino, Cominetto and Filala. Malta is the biggest island and the centre of culture, trade and administration.

Due to its strategic location at the centre of the Mediterranean Sea, Malta has always been the object of conquest since ancient times: Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Arabs and then the Normans, Knights of St John, French and English. All these civilizations have left their cultural mark and influenced the Maltese’s lives. Especially during holiday seasons, you can get a real feel for the local life with all its colours and passions.

It is a fantastic island, where you can soak up its history (a long 7000 years), and fall in love with the beauty of the underwater scenery. The wealth of fauna and flora, the purity of the sea, the unique morphological structure of the seabed, the mild climate are all main features of this island. It is a unique place for its happy and pleasant atmosphere throughout the year and for the conviviality of the Maltese, who inherited the hospitality of the Knights by making it an art of living.

Do not miss: Valletta, Mdina, The Three Cities, the megalithic temples that stud the archipelago, many museums and churches.

The opportunities to have fun are endless, including discos and clubs, theatre, cinemas, casinos, restaurants, bars, beach parties and festivals with spectacular fireworks. Internationally known is the Jazz Festival (in July) with the participation of legendary artists and promising new acts with the spectacular backdrop of the Grand Harbour of Valletta.
