The Republic of Malta is a small nation consisting of three islands situated off the coast of Sicily in the Mediterranean Sea. Malta is blessed with year-round sunshine. Set in crystal clear waters, Malta is a fascinating setting for a truly memorable vacation. Particular highlights of Malta include Mdina and The Three Cities. Over 4,000 years old, lamp lit by night and referred to as “the silent city”, Mdina, is fascinating to visit for its timeless atmosphere as well as its cultural and religious treasures. The Three Cities can rightly claim to be the cradle of Maltese history as they provided a home and fortress to almost every people who settled on the islands.
