Treating travellers to an enthralling combination of variety and charm and guarding the entrance to the eastern Mediterranean. Miniscule Malta has a strategic significance that dwarfs its tiny size.

The capital Valletta boasts stunning architecture, fascinating museums and a beautiful Grand Harbour full of traditional fishing boats, stately yachts and modern speedboats.

Neighbouring Gozo has a more relaxed feel and distinct character all of its own. Active visitors can still enjoy mountain biking, walking holidays, kayaking and other water sports; but Gozo also offers the perfect opportunity to relax. With delicious cuisine focused on freshly caught local produce and secluded coves at every turn.
