With over 7,000 years of history, Malta is the ultimate holiday destination for any history buff! Home to some of the oldest free-standing temples in the World, the Islands have also played host to the Phoenicians, the Romans, the Knights of St. John, Napoleon and the British Empire. A jaunt to its phenomenal fortifications, and an open-mouthed-gape at its truly awe-inspiring architecture is a must.
The island-state of Malta is located in the Mediterranean Sea, South of Sicily (Italy). It consists of three islands:Malta, Gozo, and Comino, of which Malta is the largest island.
When is the best time to visit the Maltese Islands?
Whilst there’s never a bad time to visit Malta, April, May and June offer warm weather without it being too hot. Visitors in early Spring can also enjoy the glorious wildflower season, and the lush verdure of the countryside, still green from the Winter’s rain. Whilst
delightfully sunny in the height of Summer too, daytime temperatures rarely dip below thirty degrees, ideal for beach lovers.
