🏝 Malta 🏝
Discover the Mediterranean's beautiful islands
Megaliths, medieval dungeons and Calypso's Cave –
The Maltese Islands are positively mythic. The
narrow meandering streets of their towns and villages lead to the main
square, which is invariably dominated by the huge baroque church. As the
countryside is dotted with medieval towers, wayside chapels and the
oldest known human structures in the world, the Islands have rightly
been described as an open-air museum. The Maltese archipelago lies
virtually at the centre of the Mediterranean, 93 km south of Sicily and
288 km north of Africa. The archipelago consists of three islands:
Malta, Gozo and Comino with a total population of over 500,000
inhabitants occupying an area of 316 square kilometers.
Malta is the largest island and the cultural,
commercial and administrative centre. Gozo is the
second largest island and is more rural, characterised by fishing,
tourism, crafts and agriculture. Comino, the smallest
of the trio, is largely uninhabited. With superbly sunny weather,
attractive beaches, a thriving nightlife and 7,000 years of intriguing
history, there is a great deal to see and do.
