Consider a holiday in Malta!

Because of its ancient temples, historical sites, sandy shorelines and mediterranean food the Maltese Islands are positively excellent. A holiday in Malta is an excellent idea if you want variety - history, nightlife, beach and food all in the tiny but beautiful island of Malta!

The Maltese islands are virtually at the heart of the Mediterranean, 92km south of Sicily and 286km north of Africa. They consists of: Malta, Gozo and Comino.

The small streets in the aged towns and villages are filled with cathedrals and Baroque palaces. Malta offers the earliest human structures globally and it's justly termed an open-air museum.

The largest island is Malta. The second biggest island is Gozo. It's more rural, and dependent on fishing, tourists and agriculture. Comino with it's magnificent turqouis sea is basically not inhabited but nevertheless incredibly beautiful.

With near all year round sunny weather, nice beaches, plenty of museums & good nightlife and 7,000 years of history, there is plenty to see and do. (Museums in Malta). The Hypogeum for example was selected as a place of World Heritage by UNESCO, just like the prehistoric temples and grand palaces to name a few.

Finding cheap accommodation in Malta is not such a problem. There are many hotels around on the island and you will be spoilt for choice.
