History & Culture
The real beauty of Malta’s culture and heritage is how it’s 7000 year history is concentrated into a few square kilometres, making the adventure as navigable and pleasant as truly possible.
Sun and Sea
The sea is an integral part of our history. It is sensuous in summer and restless in winter, and always great to be by, whether swimming, sailing, or just appreciating its splendour drift on by. Malta is home to a paradise of splendid beaches, that line its shores and offer some of the bluest, cleanest waters in the Mediterranean. To literally rent a car, buy a map, and get lost in a wealth of untouched natural splendour is truly a dream in itself.
Diving:
The Maltese Islands’ clear blue Mediterranean sea is ideal for scuba diving and is highly accessible by relatively every area of the Islands. All three Islands offer excellently unique diving experiences with reefs, caves and wrecks to make the dive one of the most interesting ones in the Mediterranean. The calmness of the sea makes for excellent visibility and the wildlife danger risk is extremely low, creating an ultimate location for first time divers and beginners. For the more experienced divers, there are various sites that include archaeological artefacts, some from WWII, some even dating back to the Roman era. The depths of the dives vary, from the very shallow 12-metre Ghar Lapsi dive to Lantern Point, which takes divers to an underwater tunnel that leads down well over 50 metres.
Enjoy the Nightlife:
Nightlife on the Islands is always bustling - there are always scores of clubs to visit, excellent wine bars and first-rate restaurants to try.
The Islands have an effervescent calendar of cultural events to see, such as the Summer Malta Arts Festival, the Valletta Baroque Festival, the Opera Festival, the Choir Festival and the International Jazz Festival held in July. Very unique to the Islands are the lively summer village parish festas. Saints, fireworks, food and fun are all part of this cultural phenomenon – try and catch one as they’re not to be missed.
A trip to the Islands
The Islands are a paradise for relaxation. Take a day trip to either Gozo or Comino for the day, and find yourself spoilt by a land so raw, so pure, so still. Here the practice of hedonism comes without boundaries.
