Malta

Three islands. Seven thousand years. One very good lunch.

Malta is small enough to cross in an hour and deep enough to keep you busy for a week. Temples older than the pyramids, a harbour built for knights, and a village feast that will pull you in off the street.

Overview

Discover Malta: Private Tours, Experiences & Custom Travel

To experience Malta is to discover Europe in miniature. The islands sit in the middle of the Mediterranean, between Sicily and the North African coast, and almost everyone who mattered in this sea has ruled here at some point. Romans, Moors, the Knights of St John, the French and the British all left something behind, which is why you can walk from a Baroque cathedral to a British letterbox in the same street. There are fortresses everywhere, megalithic temples older than the pyramids, and the Hal Saflieni Hypogeum, an underground complex of halls and burial chambers cut in 3600 BC.

The pleasure of Malta is how quickly it changes. Valletta is grand and golden and small enough to cross in twenty minutes. Mdina, the old silent city, empties out after the day trippers leave. Take the ferry to Gozo and the pace drops again, down to village feasts, sea caves and long swims at the Blue Lagoon on Comino. Our local team knows all three islands by heart and plans the days around what you actually want to see.

Three small islands carrying seven thousand years of stories. From Valletta and the silent city of Mdina to the temples, sea caves and slower rhythm of Gozo, Malta gives you more than its size suggests. Our local team plans it around you.
