WELCOME TO MALTA ISLAND!

Malta is an archipelago consisting of six islands: Malta, which is the biggest and most important (246kmp), Gozo (67kmp) Comino (3.5 km) Cominotto, Filfla and St. Paul, the last three are uninhabited.

Situated at about 90 km south of Sicily island and 290 km from the coast of Africa, Malta is in fact a low limestone plateau, with a maximum elevation of 417m (Gozo). Located in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, the Maltese archipelago combines natural beauty with 7000 years of incredible history.

Since ancient times the incredible beauty of the island, the honey-colored stones and the harbors have been responsible for the influence and the reputation known around the world. Situated at the gate of Eastern Africa, 90km south of Sicily, Malta is enjoying the calm sea and the warm sun.

While visiting Malta, tourists simply can't help admiring its crystal-clear water, rocky coves, small red sand beaches, natural pools, sea caves. The 'Blue Window' , a breath of fresh air offers a wonderful climate. The protective eye of Osiris, known locally as the 'luzzu', watches over each multicolored fishing boat. The sea is the purest and clearest around the Mediterranean. The island's greatest treasure is its stone - a particular type of limestone: "This golden stone", which has earned it the name of Melita Malta. "The island of honey " inspired 7000 years of architecture.

Malta dates from around 4000 BC when the megalithic temples were built. These temples, dedicated to the Goddess Mother, keep the purity of the most beautiful and mysterious magical places of the island. The temples of Hagar Qim, which relate to the sea and the island of Filfla, are among the best preserved temples of the 30 found in the whole Maltese archipelago.

In 1530, when the Knights settled in Malta, no one could have realised that destiny would link the island both religiously and militarily.

For the knights, Malta was the gateway to Western Christianity and, for over 200 years, while the influence was growing in Europe, they endowed the island with any great monuments so the sovereign would have been proud.

Towns, fortresses, churches and palaces have turned Malta into the unique ''gem'' that has become today. From the rocky peninsula on to the Grand Harbour, Valletta will glow in front of your eyes. This city of the Knights does not allow everyone to grasp at a glance. You have to caress the eyes, to walk straight along the streets and stop to admire a facade, a balcony, a courtyard surrounded by arched passages, a magnificent fountain or shields.

You can then go directly to the Barracca Gardens which are situated across from the splendid Auberge de Castille. The gardens and the Grand Harbour views are breathtaking. The Church Knights, John Co-Cathedral of St. John, are just a number of invaluable treasures hidden behind the somber facade. You'll be impressed by the abundance of black, gold and elaborate designs that adorn the eight chapels dedicated to different languages.
