7-Day Discover Malta: Sea and Landscapes

Customisable Itinerary
4.4 • 5 travellers have booked with Giulio A.

Trip Overview

Three islands, Malta, Gozo and Comino make the Maltese archipelago, a paradise in the heart of the Mediterranean, just 80 km from the Sicilian coast.

It is not only the crystal clear sea and the sun that persuade millions of tourists to travel to Malta every year. Malta's appreciation of nature and art captivates its visitors. The opportunity to take a dip in the Blue Lagoon, get out of the water, and in a few minutes go to three UNESCO sites and other historical and cultural wonders make it unlike any other island.

Valletta, an intact city-fortress, which preserves two works by Caravaggio in its Cathedral; the megalithic temples of Gozo that were believed to have been built by giants, and the mysterious Hypogeum of Hal Saflieni, the only underground prehistoric temple in the world. These wonders of Malta only scratch the surface of the history of the archipelago, which is waiting to be discovered on this one-week trip.

One of the main attractions of Malta is the outdoor markets, where you can enjoy the typical Mediterranean flavours.
