The Archipelago

 

Lying exactly halfway between the coasts of Sicily and North Africa, the Maltese Archipelago is set in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea.  Every one of the Islands has a distinct personality:  Malta’s towns and villages blend modernity with its rich history and culture; Gozo’s narrow winding streets showcase its tranquil lifestyle, while the natural landscapes of Comino offer something entirely different. 

Malta
Famous throughout history for its strategic military position and its role in the succession of European powers, Malta is also renowned for its year-round warm climate. With long hot summers and friendly people, Malta is a feast for the senses, inviting you to embark on a trip that will help you discover something new:  whether it is a sport, a hidden beach, a unique dish, historical sites or a vibrant nightlife scene. 

Gozo
Malta’s sister island, Gozo offers the ideal setting for complete relaxation. As a fishing and farming community, Gozo offers a backdrop of tranquility amongst its winding streets. Striking Baroque churches and old stone farmhouses embellish its unspoiled countryside and tiny villages. With picturesque panoramas and historical locations found practically everywhere, Gozo is ideal for those who love to explore. Don’t be fooled by its diminutive size; Gozo has a cultural calendar that stands well on its own and a culinary tradition that combines farm-to-table principles with contemporary and innovative applications.

Comino
The smaller island of Comino offers an abundance of snorkeling and diving opportunities. Being only 3.5 square kilometers in size means Comino is great if you want to go completely car-free for the day. Practically uninhabited, the island’s main attraction is the Blue Lagoon.  With its glistening crystal clear waters and white sand, the Blue Lagoon sees families and day-trippers from both Malta and Gozo in the summer, whilst winter sees ramblers and photographers going over to enjoy, capture and remember the breathtaking scenery.
