A
Holiday to Malta is popular all year-round for visitors
from the UK tempted by the wonderful climate,
picturesque fishing villages and the British connection.
It is located in the Mediterranean, just south of Sicily
and north of the coast of Africa which has helped to
create a richly diverse culture on this small island
just 20 miles from one end to the other. The islands
7000 year history has seen conquests by the Phoenicians,
Byzantines, Arabs, Romans, and most famously, the
Knights of the Order of St. John, resulting in a island
full of fascinating traditions, cultures, architecture
and cuisine. Whilst on a Malta holiday there are a
wealth of activities to enjoy including golf, tennis,
cycling, paragliding and hiking. It is a popular choice
for scuba-divers, and the beach and coastal resorts
offer plenty of watersports, with yachting and sailing
extremely popular. Valetta is the capital city and has
plenty of museums, galleries and monuments within its
16th century walls. In addition boat trips around Malta
are popular and there are fascinating historical
churches, castles and preserved temples across the whole
island.

relaxing or sporty with golden sand, red sand, rocks or

shores are slightly harder to reach, but worth finding
for their seclusion and unspoilt surroundings. Cafes,
fruit stalls or snack bars are abundant on larger
beaches during the summer season and beach life lasts
well into October. Water sports and activities like
windsurfing, jet and water skiing, para-kiting and fun
rides are all available and you can hire equipment
