Malta is a small island but it has probably the highest density of things to see and do per square kilometre of anywhere I’ve been. I know that sounds like a brochure. It’s not. You can drive across the main island in about 45 minutes. Most visitors give it a day or two, usually on a cruise ship stop — they walk around Valletta, take a photo of the harbour, and leave, which means they miss almost everything. Give Malta a week and you’ll see what I mean. The Light […]

Traveling is a passion many people share, and what better person to share it with, then with your partner. Traveling with your partner for the first time is exciting. To some couples however, it might feel like a make or break. You might work really great as a couple during your day to day life, but how will it be away from home, when all you have is each other? We faced this question the first time we went on a trip and have since met many people who have […]

I proceeded to a tiny room at my hotel in central Valletta, oddly enough having to pass through the restaurant first. Many elderly ladies were absorbed in a riveting game of Bridge and I had to slink past their tables without bumping into them. Finding a balcony I stood overlooking the scenic water and Fort Saint Angelo in the distance while absorbing the smells of the salty water, the warmth of the Mediterranean sunshine and the tantalizing aromas wafting up from somebody’s kitchen or restaurant of something delicious being cooked […]

It’s always difficult trying to find reasonably priced holidays in the summer school break, so when I spotted this package deal to Malta I snapped it up for me, my husband, Tom and my two daughters, Eva, 12, and Lily, 10. I wasn’t sure what to expect, as Malta used to have the reputation of being a destination for older holiday makers, rather than families, but it seems the island is trying to change all that. Our resort, Mellieha, has the longest beach on the island, so perfect for the […]

Are you an experienced backpacker? Are you looking for a place to visit in Europe? Or are you a newbie backpacker who want to take it easy and slow on your first adventure? If you answer yes to one or more of the questions, Malta is the best bet. Many local and foreign travelers associate Malta with four awesome phrases or words — small, warm summer temperature, picturesque, and safe. Travelers who’ve been backpacking for a long time actually visit Malta again and again because they can’t just have enough […]

The post Backpacking Across the Island of Malta, Gozo and Comino appeared first on Dave's Travel Corner.

The island of Gozo is known for having some of the best beaches in the Mediterranean while offering a less crowded environment than the neighbouring island of Malta. The weather is temperate most of the year and the waters are usually calm and clear, so it’s a perfect destination for swimming, snorkeling, watersports, photography, sunbathing, and sheer relaxation. Of course, being an island that’s literally surrounded by beaches makes choosing which spots you’re going to see first a rather tricky process, especially if you don’t want to miss anything good!

Malta is a series of tiny islands located about 80 kilometers south of Sicily and east of Tunisia in the Mediterranean. The country has a rich cultural history with both Islamic and Catholic influence. It was a part of the British Empire until 1964 when it gained independence. The charming capital city of Valletta is Europe’s smallest and with 450,000 people living on the islands Malta is one of the world’s densest populated countries. Valletta is a charming city with great views of the water and historical architecture. Because it […]

John M. Edwards takes a ferry boat, complete with a small steamer trunk and a traveler’s liquid pride “In Sicily, it’s fine, you can change money everywhere,” the lanky traveler lectured, popping the tab on his beercan, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose. A white floppy sunhat, popularized by British sunbathers in Brighton, shaded his head from the fierce Mediterranean sun, though we were hidden in the subterranean hold of a ship bound from Syracusa to Valletta. He reminded me somewhat of an Australian version of Gilbert […]

I expect that when many of you think of historic places to visit, Malta is not at the top of your list. No problem, as many don’t think of Malta in those terms. The truth is that Malta has a high concentration of history and ancient architecture as well as many modern features for tourist. For those of you that may be interested in a trip to Malta, here are a few things to check out. The Lazy Island of Gozo If you have ever wanted to hop into a […]

As you look down from the hillside onto the apparent perfection of Malta’s Blue Lagoon, you struggle to imagine it in any other condition. Land embraces lagoon like a protective parent. Water shines like a molten blending of sapphires and emeralds. The perpetually cloudless sky appears hazy against such brilliance. Craggy islets guard the entrance like dorsal spines on some mythic leviathan. But you walk the Malta of the modern world, a Mediterranean archipelago where prehistoric temples, safely preserved within the womb of nature for millennia, are being eroded in […]

Frequent and repeat incidents of visitors being confronted in the street while on holiday in Malta has led to the Maltese authorities taking action against the timeshare companies who employ sales staff to seek out possible visiting buyers. Complaints have risen in recent years from holiday makers who have had their time on the island spoiled by being approached on a daily basis to attend presentations – that can last up to four hours – in the hope that some will buy into holiday property ownership and timeshares. The Malta […]

For a Mediterranean island with good year round weather, a friendly local English speaking population and facilities to rival that of any of her competitors, Malta is a surprisingly often forgotten island for many people planning a holiday in the Mediterranean. Malta missed some of her own government’s tourist targets in 2005, but a recent visit by Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh resulted in four days of positive media coverage in the island’s most important market – the United Kingdom – and also in over 50 other […]
