Malta
Sailing into Malta is like taking a trip back to the Middle Ages -- the skyline of the walled Maltese capital, Valletta, is a flurry of domes, turrets and spires, mostly built by the Knights of St. John, whose origins were in the Crusades. Situated in the mid-Mediterranean between Sicily and Tunisia, Malta has two main islands (the smaller being Gozo), intriguing cities, and plenty of history to explore, with both European and North African influences.
- Blue Lagoon
- Grandmaster Palace
- Hagar Qim
- Blue Grotto
Top Malta Experiences
Scuba dive and see the colorful marine life. You’re on an island, get out in the water!
Try the food! Malta has some unique dishes, including rabbit-meat pasta and pea pastries.
Join in on a Malta street party. These are often held in the summer months, held in numerous towns around the island.
Experience the street carnival that happens every February. Enjoy the parade floats and costumes that line the streets of Valletta.
Enjoy fish from Marsaxlokk, a fishing village complete with an open-air fish market every Sunday.

Malta and Gozo Discovery
Patricia, the guide, was very friendly and certainly knew her stuff. She took care and was very attentive to the requests of the group.
Really great group of people as well.
Personally, I would have preferred more free time to wander on my own but hard to balance over the whole group and itinerary.
