Overview

The Maltese Islands, lying at the very centre of the Mediterranean, have attracted visitors since ancient times. From the intrepid seafaring Phoenicians to the Knights of St. John and tourists of today, many nations have been charmed by Malta's cultural mosaic and welcoming people. Few Mediterranean destinations offer such a wealth of past and present, as well as a vast range of options for business, conference and small group travel.

The beauty of the Maltese Islands is that they are so accessible to the world's major cities. Just south of the Italian Island of Sicily, Malta is only a few hours flying time from European capitals and is well served by connections to long-haul destinations.
