Things to do in Malta

A three-island Mediterranean archipelago between Europe and Africa, Malta was ruled by England for more than 150 years. Traces of the Mediterranean civilizations who have occupied the islands over the centuries can be found throughout the islands which couple ancient Latin traditions with a sense of both rigors and ease typical of most Western cities. A member of the European Union, Malta is the smallest country in Europe.With more than 300 days of sunshine a year, snorkelers and divers love exploring Malta’s crystal clear waters, which are among the cleanest in the Mediterranean. La Valletta and Mdina are two fascinating art cities that bear traces of the old age of the Knights. Narrow winding serpentine streets slink through the city centers and the countryside, which is studded with a wide range of monoliths and ancient temples, some which date back to 5000 years making them older than Stonehenge. Each village has its own traditions, local friendly bars and delightful attractions. You won't be disappointed!
