- A traveler on visiting Malta
Malta is a Mediterranean archipelago that punches well above its weight, with Valletta's honey-colored fortifications, ancient megalithic temples predating the pyramids, and crystal-clear waters perfect for diving. The islands blend Phoenician, Arab, Norman, and British influences into a unique cultural tapestry reflected in the architecture, language, and cuisine. Game of Thrones filming locations, vibrant festa celebrations, and year-round sunshine make Malta an increasingly popular European getaway.
