The Maltese archipelago - the islands with an attitude!
In Malta,
you'll explore 7000 years of history yet live passionately in the present.
You'll span the millennia with an astonishing array of things to discover. And
wherever you go, the Islands' scenery and architecture provide a spectacular
backdrop. The colours are striking. Honey coloured stone against the deepest of
Mediterranean blues. The Maltese Islands have been described as one big open
air museum. What makes them unique is that so much of their past is visible
today. Delve into the Islands' mysterious prehistory, retrace the footsteps of
St Paul or see where the Knights of St John defended Christendom.
But Malta is no
regular museum. Here life is lived to the full, so make time for some living
history and action. Visit locations where Oscar winning blockbusters were
filmed or go off the beaten track into ancient villages. Marvel at the
fireworks and revelry of the summertime festas and enjoy a packed calendar of
events all year round.
Islands always conjure up a sense of escapism and mystery…and nowhere more so than Gozo. The Island is a third the size of Malta, lusher and more rural, and exudes a relaxed pace of life. It is the ideal secluded bolt-hole, and at just 20 minutes or so by ferry from Malta, you can make the hop even on the shortest stay here.
What makes Gozo special are its legends, folklore and crafts. The Island’s history is a mix of myth and reality. We can only do justice to the special atmosphere of Gozo by relating both together.
