The Maltese archipelago constitutes one of the most charming Mediterranean destinations. The islands are blessed with the Mediterranean sun and with crystal blue waters offering an amazing backdrop for your well-deserved holidays. Many natural, artistic, and cultural treasures are waiting to be discovered. Given the size of the Maltese islands all of these treasures are within close proximity of each other and no time is lost in traveling from one attraction to another.

Malta is a Southern European country consisting of an archipelago situated in the centre of the Mediterranean, 93 km south of Sicily. You will be able to explore 7000 years of history including nine UNESCO World Heritage Sites, most prominently the Megalithic Temples the oldest free-standing structures in the world, and cities of Valletta and Mdina.

Malta offers a myriad of cultural events for those loving music, theater, and arts. For those loving sports, the islands offer golf, tennis, horse riding, adventure sports, and endless activities related to water sports, ranging from navigation to windsurf, and to the best scuba diving of the Mediterranean Sea.

Gozo is the second-largest island of the Maltese archipelago in the Mediterranean Sea. The island and its inhabitants have their own distinct character and identity, with noticeably different lifestyles, accents and dialect. Gozitans are known for their friendliness and welcome to visitors, going out of their way to indicate a direction or help a visitor find their destination. The real beauty of Gozo, apart from its stunning seascape and interior, lies in the villages.  Here, it seems as if time really does stand still. The locals treasure their peace and the villages are tranquil, proving to be a wonderful respite from the trials and tribulations of everyday life for visitors.

Exuding a relaxed pace of life, Gozo is the ideal secluded safe haven and at just 25 minutes or so by ferry from Malta, the hop can easily be made for even the shortest stay.


Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. It has its own rich and unique culture, especially with regard to the arts, music, literature, cuisine, architecture and language. The island is characterized by a densely mountainous landscape.
