About

Why Visit Malta?

Malta is a tiny archipelago in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea that punches spectacularly above its weight in history, culture, and natural beauty. With more than 7,000 years of continuous habitation — including Neolithic temples older than Stonehenge, a Phoenician past, Roman occupation, Arab rule, the Knights of St John, Napoleon, and the British Empire — every stone in Malta tells a story. The walled capital Valletta is Europe's smallest capital and a UNESCO World Heritage City. The Blue Lagoon of Comino is one of the Mediterranean's most photographed spots. For Indian travellers, Malta offers warm weather, crystal-clear waters, extraordinary history, and a remarkably easy English-speaking environment.
