The Maltese Islands

Situated in the Mediterranean Sea, the Maltese archipelago covers a total area of 315.5 km2. The archipelago consists of Malta, which is the main island, and two other sister islands. These are Gozo and Comino. One can travel by ferry from Gozo to Malta. Some other islets include: Cominetto, St. Paul's Isles, and Filfla. The Maltese Islands are located in Southern Europe, close to North Africa. 

Malta's main cities are Valetta (the capital city), Mdina, Haz-Zebbug and Hamrun. Gozo's capital city is Victoria.

 The Islands' exact geographical position is 36 0 North Latitude and 140 East longitude. The climate is typically Mediterranean with temperatures  ranging from 36 0C in summer to 8 0C in winter. Bathing is instinctive in summer, because of the high temperature and the tempting crystal-clear waters.

The Islands have three main harbours: the Mgarr harbours in Gozo, the Grand Harbours near Valletta, and Marsaxlokk Harbours. The Islands' only Freeport is located at Marsaxlokk.  

Compared to its size, Malta has a lot to offer to the tourists, unlike the impression one may have on first glance. From the Megalithic Temples dating back to some 5,000 years ago, to the small, quiet, isles of the archipelago. The latter are practically left untouched, providing a perfect resting place. 

Apart from this, Malta has that type of atmosphere that will give you the much-needed rest you need. Meet the warm and welcoming people on a slow, Maltese typical bus.  They will help you tour the Islands - no need for a map! 

The Islands are still relatively calm and not directly affected by the hustle and bustle which other countries may have.
