If there's any nation that can claim to have it all it's the Mediterranean island nation of Malta. Made up of three islands: Malta, Gozo, and the small, uninhabited Comino are all situated south of Sicily and north of Tunisia and Libya at almost the precise center of the sparkling blue sea.

Malta is the ideal place for a holiday, because at 330 square kilometers, Malta is comparable in size to many large European cities. Except in Malta you have the sea, the sun, open spaces, plus dramatic and diverse scenery, as well as a unique raw character you won't soon forget.

But size is where the comparisons between Malta and European cities must end because Malta is like no other country in the world. By the end of your holiday, you will likely agree.

From the great limestone and sandy beaches to prehistoric rock tombs and temples, centuries-old limestone churches, self-contained villages, wild coastal landscapes, ancient-walled cities, modern night life, seaside restaurants, casinos, cafes, and hotels, to impressive treasure-filled museums plus a brave drive toward European Union membership this coming May, everything seems to be happening at once in Malta.

In this guide to Malta and Gozo you will find the travel info that will hopefully help make your holiday in Malta a memorable one.
