Malta has a lot to Offer

Magical Malta… If you love Greece, an adoration for Malta is inevitable. While the beaches beckon in both and the Mediterranean climate calls your name, each has its own distinct history, cuisines and cultures that set them apart. Malta may be smaller than Greece but it certainly packs a mighty punch. The island’s many highlights attract visitors of every kind, from the culture vultures and the history lovers to the adventurous foodies and the sun seekers, and at just a three-hour flight from the UK, paradise is never too far away.

If you love… …Luxury in Santorini, try a five-star experience in Valletta …Zante’s Blue Caves, visit Malta’s Blue Lagoon …Rhodes’ UNESCO Old Town, explore Valletta’s UNESCO attractions …Crete’s long summers, soak up the sun in Mellieha Bay

Natural Wonders The world-famous Blue Lagoon is a gorgeous natural pool described as paradise on Earth, as well as being the island’s top attraction. Partially rocky but with a sandy ocean floor, the beach is ideal for families and kids, couples and friends, whether you’re looking to relax or seek exciting adventures. Snorkel, kayak or ride a banana boat for some aquatic fun. Walk a little further and you'll get to the Crystal Lagoon which is exactly as majestic as its name suggests.

History and Culture The Maltese capital is deservedly, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Watch the baroque charm come to life before your eyes as the Mediterranean sunshine gives the city a glow that illuminates the ancient honey-coloured buildings and walls. Malta’s greatest treasure is undoubtedly St. John’s Co-Cathedral which boasts regal craftmanship alongside its beautiful decorative works from marble statues and golden ornaments, to its elaborate stonework flooring and ornately designed ceiling. Other cultural must-sees include the National Museum of Fine Arts with works spanning the last 500 years, and Casa Rocca Piccola which is a beautiful example of 16th century architecture.

Beautiful Beaches Malta takes pride of place in the centre of the Mediterranean, and its climate is strongly influenced by the sea. Warm summer days with around 12 hours of sunshine a day, best spent on the sensational Mellieha Bay. The area is situated in one of the most picturesque and charming areas in the north of Malta with an unspoilt shoreline and home to the largest sandy beach on the island. You’ve never had a sunbathing experience until you’ve visited Mellieha Bay.

Glorious Gozo Gozo, Malta's sister island, is a calm refuge with crystal blue seas and a sleepy laid-back nature. Despite this it offers a diverse range of activities and attractions including kayaking, mountain biking and trekking for active visitors. The island’s food and wine scene is centered around fresh produce and outstanding seafood and historic sites to visit include the megalithic temples at Ggantija, and the recently restored Il-Kastell fortress.
