Made up of main island Malta, as well as sister islands Gozo and Comino, island-hopping is the best way to take in the archipelago’s mesmerising mix of man-made marvels and stunning scenery set off by blue skies and sparkling sunshine.
Castles and crusades
Layered with history and packed with preserved monuments, Malta’s cities are living museums offering visitors a trip back in time to an era of crusading knights and fortresses. Island capital Valletta was chosen as a headquarters for the Knights of St John in the 16th century, looking out across the Med on a headland flanked by two natural harbours.
