A tiny archipelago, Malta packs a lot into its small landmass. Floating in the central Mediterranean between Sicily and the North African coast, Malta is known for its historic sites, hidden coves, beautiful Mediterranean vibes and its dizzying limestone cliffs which you'll explore on this six-day Malta holiday!
Based in the capital for the entire trip, you'll spend some time strolling through the historic 16th-century streets of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed city of Valletta before taking several day trips to different parts of the archipelago.
You'll visit the fortified city of Mdina, where a walk through the narrow and winding roads of the so-called ‘silent city’ will bring you to the imposing bastions that command a magnificent panorama of most of the island.
Gozo and its unique atmosphere will also be worthy of a day trip to explore the Megalithic temples of Ggantija, the oldest free-standing monuments in the world, pre-dating the Pyramids of Egypt. You'll also spend half a day discovering the Grand Harbour area opposite Valletta known as the Three Cities – Vittoriosa, Cospicua and Senglea - and Hagar Qim, Malta’s main pre-historic site, overlooking the wide expanse of the blue Mediterranean and the islet of Filfla.A tiny archipelago, Malta packs a lot into its small landmass.
