Malta —
Malta, a small archipelago situated just below Sicily and above the North African coast, offers a blend of ancient history and natural beauty. The islands are home to temples and ruins dating back over 7,000 years, and a variety of stunning beaches and crystal-clear waters perfect for snorkelling.
Must-sees:
- The UNESCO-listed city of Valletta, Europe’s southernmost capital.
- The Megalithic Temples of Malta, including Ħaġar Qim and Mnajdra.
- The Blue Lagoon, a breathtaking natural cove on Comino.
Culinary culture:
Malta’s culinary scene is a delightful mix of Mediterranean flavours, with a distinct influence from its historical connections to Sicily and North Africa. Traditional dishes such as fenek (rabbit stew) and pastizzi (flaky pastries filled with ricotta or peas) are must-tries. The islands are also famous for their local wines, made from indigenous grape varieties, and fresh seafood caught daily from the surrounding waters.
Dive deeper:
For those seeking a deeper understanding of Malta, its rich cultural heritage can be explored through the island’s numerous historical sites, including the Maltese Cross, the emblem of the Knights of St. John. The country’s long history of diverse cultures and rulers has shaped its architecture, language, and traditions, which remain prevalent today. A visit to the Malta National Museum of Archaeology in Valletta offers an insight into this unique history.
Good to know:
The official currency is the Euro (€), and English is widely spoken alongside Maltese. Malta enjoys a Mediterranean climate with over 300 days of sunshine per year, making it a year-round destination. The islands are well-connected by buses, and ferries provide easy access to the surrounding islands like Gozo and Comino.
