Discover Malta.
Malta is a wonderful and rich archipelago island in the central Mediterranean between Sicily and the North African coast. It’s a nation known for historic sites related to a succession of rulers including the Romans, Moors, Knights of Saint John, French and British. It has numerous fortresses, megalithic temples and the Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum, a subterranean complex of halls and burial chambers dating to circa 4000 B.C.
Did you know, the epic movie starring Russell Crowe as a Roman general turned gladiator features iconic scenes that were filmed in Malta?!
Gorgeous scenery and architecture.
Valletta and the Three Cities, with their formidable fortifications, the rugged cliffs and secluded bays around Malta, Gozo and Comino… they all look very different from the deck. Hop on a Harbour Cruise or take a longer Island Cruise and experience Malta from a different angle.
No visit to Malta would be complete without a treasure hunt on the Island of Gozo. Go as a foot passenger on The Gozo Channel Company ferry and be met the other side with a fleet of open topped jeeps to begin your adventure.
What about a unique dining experience. Guides with flaming torches will meet you at the city gates and will weave their way through the narrow winding streets to Bacchus Restaurant, the renovated Gunpowder store, now restaurant, built by the knights centuries ago. Dinner is served!
Why Visit?
Wherever you go, the Islands' scenery and architecture provide a spectacular backdrop. The colours are striking - honey-coloured stone against the deepest of Mediterranean blues. Retrace the footsteps of St. Paul or see where the Knights of St. John defended Christendom. When in Malta it is essential that you travel to Gozo and Comino, the smaller sister islands.
Nearest Airports
Luqa International Airport is the only airport in Malta, and it serves the whole of the Maltese Islands. It is located 9.3km southwest of the Maltese capital, Valletta in the town of Gudja.
Best For
Perfect for water sport and beach activities including scuba diving. Walking and exploring the vibrant cities which make Malta one of the most interesting destinations to visit. Mdina, also called the Silent City, is surrounded by fortified walls and sits on top of one of the highest hills of Malta. You could be met at the gates with flaming torches and escorted to a renovated gunpowder store for dinner.
