Malta is a European jewel, suspended in the Mediterranean. A sun-soaked land that balances history and modernity with the animated grace of a dancer. This labyrinth of breathtaking vistas, where the skies and seas meet in a seamless blend of blue, is a place where your soul will sing the serenades of serenity.
Paying heed to the whispered stories of Malta means you are listening to the seagulls in the Grand Harbor and the murmurings within the fortified city walls of St. John. Overlooking the laps of the sea are the world’s oldest free-standing structures, the Megalithic Temples of Hagar Qim. Fish for your dinner in the idyllic fishing villages in Grotto and take endless photos of the impressive Ggantija Temples and the serene Sanctuary of Ta’ Pinu.
In this quaint country, locals like to live big through robust and rustic meals. Herbaceous and spicy meats, melty cheese, pastries, and juicy vegetables keep Maltan stomachs full. Shop for artisan souvenirs and make sure to dress for the season in this land of varied weather.
