The name Malta really
encompasses an archipelago, made up of three islands.
The main inhabited island is Malta itself while the
sister isles are Gozo and Comino, the later practically
uninhabited although it is the site for a hotel specialising
in away-from-it-all holidays.
There are no mountains or rivers on the islands. The
majority of fields are small and terraced, but despite
general lack of rain and other adverse terrain conditions,
agriculture is well developed.
The Maltese Islands, one of the most charming destinations
in the Mediterranean, offer the traveller a unique holiday
experience. No other group of islands can offer as much
natural beauty, art and architecture, entertainment
and activity as Malta can. Everything here is close,
unexpected and easily accessible. Thanks to an excellent
bus and boat service, visitors can enjoy a variety of
different experiences on the same day. You are never
more than a 30 minute car ride from any part of the
Island.
Blessed with year-round sunshine and set in crystal
clear waters, the islands' numerous cultural, artistic
and natural treasures are there to be discovered and
are all within easy access from wherever one chooses
to stay. Malta's outstanding archaeological and architectural
heritage will act as an impressive backdrop to all of
one's activities - a living testimony of 6,000 years
of civilization. The legacy of the various dominations
that ruled over the islands throughout the ages can
be seen, felt and savoured.
Whether one seeks action or relaxation, tranquillity
or excitement, one can find it in Malta.
For lovers of music, theatre and the arts, Malta boasts
an abundant calendar of cultural manifestations and
events.
For the sportive visitor, the islands offer golf, tennis,
skydiving, horse-riding, and unlimited possibilities
for water-sports - from sailing to windsurfing and the
best scuba diving in the Mediterranean.
