About Malta

The Maltese archipelago lies in the middle of the Mediterranean and is made up of the islands Malta, Gozo, Comino, Cominotto and Filfla, the latter two being uninhabited.  Sicily lies 93km to the North and Africa 288km to the South. Gozo is but a 20 minute ferry ride away.

The first civilization to leave its mark here flourished in the 3rd millennium BC. They were followed by the Phoenicians, the Carthaginians, the Romans, the Arabs and most recently the British, who left in 1964. Since the early days of navigation, Malta has asserted itself as an important strategic base and attracted many peoples, religions and battles for its ownership. This has left it with an absolute treasure trove of cultural heritage, from splendid baroque churches to the oldest known megalithic temples in the world.

So while Malta boasts high average sunshine levels per year, crystal blue waters, rolling hills and gorgeous beaches, luring sun-seekers, country-walkers, water-sports and yachting enthusiasts, there really is something to suit everyone.
