Malta Travel Guides

Malta is a tiny archipelago in the central Mediterranean - just three inhabited islands (Malta, Gozo, and Comino) totalling 316 square kilometres. Despite its size, Malta packs in over 7,000 years of human history, from the megalithic temples of Hagar Qim (older than the Egyptian pyramids) to the Baroque grandeur of Valletta, built by the Knights of St John after defeating the Ottoman siege of 1565. The islands offer year-round sunshine, warm seas for diving and swimming, and a unique culture that blends Italian, Arabic, British, and distinctly Maltese influences.
