The Maltese Islands have a population of 375,000 people.

The Maltese Islands are just 60 miles from Sicily, and 180 miles from Tunisia.

Malta's history and language is more easily understood given its position, which up to the Second World War was considered as strategic.

Malta has several of the oldest known temples in the world still standing and in an excellent state of preservation.

It was inhabited since the earliest times and occupied by Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, French, and English. Malta was the official home of the Knights of the Order of St.John (a.k.a. the Knights of Malta).

We look forward to seeing you on our lovely island.
