Malta

🌞 Malta is the largest island of the Maltese Islands archipelago located south of Sicily. It also includes Gozo, Comino and several smaller islets. This is worth knowing, because a trip to Matla can be enhanced with a cruise to any of these islands. For example, you can sail to Gozo for a day, where there was the now-defunct symbol of Malta – the Azure Window, a rock bridge that collapsed in 2017. Nevertheless, Gozo still has a lot to offer, especially the beaches, much less crowded than in Malta.

Although Malta may seem like a relatively small island (it’s about 250 square kilometers, compared to Warsaw’s 530 square kilometers), there are many historical sites and beautiful beaches. For example, in the capital city of Valletta alone, there are as many as 320 monuments!

And while for many people Malta is a destination for relaxing on the beach, we encourage you to at least take a day or two off by car or public transport bus and see at least the aforementioned capital or the so-called “capital of Malta”. The Silent City, that is Mdina. Distances are not great, the cities are well connected, although the roads can be tight during the season. It’s a good idea to get around by city buses, which run all over the island – we recommend buying a weekly ticket and exploring interesting corners of the island without limits.

We also encourage you to learn more about Malta’s history, as its strategic location in the Mediterranean Sea made many nations want to seize the islands for themselves. The influence of many cultures has shaped Malta’s unique character.

The island is very diverse and both lovers of sightseeing, parties and families with children will find something for themselves here.

🌞 Malta is an island in the Mediterranean that immediately looks like a great holiday destination. Is that the case? Read all of our posts below about Malta to see if it’s worth the trip.

Our trip took place in August, which may not exactly be the best idea. High prices, many tourists, traffic jams on routes, crowded beaches, high temperatures (too high). If you have the opportunity it is better to come here before or after the high season.
