Malta Holidays
Malta is a small island located in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea. The country has a rich history, beautiful architecture, and a unique blend of cultures. Due to the island's southerly location, the weather tends to be good for much of the year, with the summer season starting early and finishing late.
Malta is known for its fantastic shopping experience, with a range of stores and boutiques offering everything from local crafts to high-end fashion. The capital city, Valletta, is a popular shopping destination with its narrow streets lined with independent shops and designer boutiques. Other popular shopping areas include the popular resorts of Sliema, St. Julian's and Bugibba, which also have a range of cafes and restaurants. Speaking of restaurants, Malta offers a diverse range of cuisine to satisfy all tastes. The traditional Maltese dishes are delicious and not to be missed, but the island is also home to many international restaurants, serving everything from Italian to Japanese cuisine. Many of the restaurants offer stunning views of the sea, making dining a truly unforgettable experience.
When it comes to beaches, Malta has an abundance of them, each with their own unique charm. Golden Bay, Mellieha Bay and St. George's Bay are just a few of the most popular beaches, all offering crystal clear waters and a range of water sports activities.
Transportation in Malta is convenient and affordable. The country has an extensive bus network, making it easy to travel around the island. Taxis and car rentals are also available, allowing visitors to explore the island at their own pace. If you have time, be sure to grab a ferry and head over to Malta's baby sister island ‘Gozo'. The island has a more laid-back and traditional atmosphere than Malta, making it a perfect destination for those looking for a more relaxed and authentic holiday experience. The pace of life is slower, and the people are friendly and welcoming, making visitors feel at home. Gozo is also famous for its impressive historical and cultural sites as well as stunning beaches, such as Ramla Bay and San Blas Bay, which are ideal for swimming and sunbathing. The island is also home to beautiful countryside, dotted with picturesque villages, fields and cliffs.
In summary, Malta is a must-visit destination for anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable holiday experience. With fantastic shopping, delicious restaurants, beautiful beaches and convenient transportation, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
