Malta lies like a golden jewel in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea. During a tour through Malta, you discover Valletta, the smallest capital of Europe full of baroque splendour. The honey-coloured stones of the city glow in the Mediterranean sunlight. Mdina takes you back to the Middle Ages with its silent streets and imposing city walls. The Blue Lagoon on Comino sparkles with turquoise water that is almost unrealistically clear. Gozo shows a quieter Malta with green hills, red sandy beaches and the mysterious Ġgantija temples. These megalithic temples are older than Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids. Taste pastizzi, fresh fish and discover Maltese cuisine full of Mediterranean flavours. Malta proves that small islands can tell the greatest stories.
