Malta
Mediterranean – Southern Europe
Malta is a sun-soaked island nation rich in history, culture, and crystal-clear waters. Sitting between Sicily and North Africa, it blends influences from its varied past, from the ancient Phoenicians and Romans to the Knights of St. John and the British Empire. The result is a destination where golden stone cities meet a dazzling blue sea.
The capital, Valletta, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site filled with baroque architecture, charming squares, and harbour views. Coastal spots like Sliema, St. Julian’s, and Mellieħa Bay offer lively promenades and sandy beaches, while the sister islands of Gozo and Comino provide tranquil escapes and stunning snorkelling spots, including the famous Blue Lagoon. Inland, Malta’s villages come alive with colourful festivals and authentic Maltese cuisine.
With over 300 days of sunshine a year, Malta is perfect for combining relaxation with sightseeing, whether exploring ancient temples, diving into clear waters, or soaking up the Mediterranean atmosphere.
