Malta’s fortuitous Mediterranean location, south of Sicily and boasting ideal harbors, made it a perfect stopping and settling point for some of history’s most powerful civilizations: from the Phoenicians to the Greeks and Romans, all the way through time to the French and eventually the British.
All of this occupation left indelible marks on the culture, cuisine, language, and appearance of this rocky archipelago. There is a rich history, amazing archaeological monuments, ornate architecture, and a dynamic culture to experience. Couple that with beautiful beaches lining the tiny islands, and you have the makings of an ideal holiday destination!
