In the middle of the Mediterranean Sea lies a small country made up of three inhabited islands and irresistible allure. This wonderful countries has extracted it’s beauty from nature and the sea. One of this country is Malta
Malta
Across its three inhabited islands – Malta, Gozo and Comino. There’ll be marveling at prehistoric temples, strolling around spectacular old towns, cooling off in the clear waters of beautiful beaches, and partying the nights away at endless beach bars and clubs. From the capital Valletta to bucolic Gozo, here’s where to get your fill.Malta itself is the biggest island in the Maltese archipelago, and many visitors see no need to leave it.
Valletta
Start at Valletta, the Maltese capital since 1571. It’s a city intrinsically linked with the Knights of Malta – a powerful military Catholic order thought to date back to the 11th century
Founded upon the orders of Jean de Valette, a grand master who was the Knights’ leader during the victorious Great Siege of 1565 when the Ottoman Empire failed to capture the island after nearly four months of battle, Valletta is an epic-looking city fortress.
What to see? There are fantastic views of the Grand Harbour and its forts from Upper Barrakka Gardens. St. John’s Co-Cathedral is a mesmerizing monument to the wealth of Knights of Malta with two works by Caravaggio inside: a pensive “St. Jerome” and the “Beheading of St. John the Baptist,” his largest work of art. The National War Museum in Fort St. Elmo recounts Malta’s military history.
Culture here isn’t just ancient, though. The Floriana Granaries – once a storage space for grain, and now Malta’s largest public square – makes for a magical outdoor venue that regularly hosts festivals and concerts of world-famous artists. The three main cities are Vittoriosa, Senglea and Cospicua,
Vittoriosa (also known as Birgu, its pre-siege name), a small fortified town with some of the prettiest streets and churches on the island.

Marsaxlokk
Is a small fishing village in the south coast. The colorful boats are swaying lazily on gentle waves but the main street is far from calm. The city is known for its excessiveness of sea foods.

If you’re interested in archaeology and ancient history, you need to make a beeline for the UNESCO World Heritage site of Ħaġar Qim, a megalithic temple complex with sweeping views over the sea – just a few minutes’ drive from the Blue Grotto. It humbles one of the oldest temple in the world more olden than the Egyptian Stonehenge and pyramid
A five minute walk away is another temple, that of Mnajdra – another of the seven temples protected under that UNESCO listing.
Marsaskala
located at the southeast path of Malta, the center is dotted with pubs, bars, restaurants and takeaways one of the amazing attributes to this is it’s location at the sea side .
The real beauty of Marsaskala, however, is that it’s more affordable and less glamorous than the better known resort towns of St. Julian’s or Sliema. Just south of the town is the beautiful St.
Sliema

Chi-chi Sliema
Once a popular residence for wealthy Maltese and the British, who built many Victorian and Art Nouveau villas here, today Sliema – just north of Valletta – is the commercial heart of Malta with international offices, shopping malls, never-ending restaurants and bars, and high residential complexes
