Megaliths, medieval dungeons and Calypso's Cave - Malta is positively mythic. The narrow cobblestone streets of its towns are crowded with Renaissance cathedrals and baroque palaces.

Blending Italian and English culture, the sunny islands of Malta and Gozo are lined with pretty fishing harbours, tiny beaches and impressive castles.

In the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, Malta and Gozo sit south of Italy, off the coast of Sicily.
