Take a Trip to the Mediterranean in Malta

Malta may not be the most well-known island in the Mediterranean, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth visiting. In fact, this small island has a ton to offer. 

If you’re not sure where Malta is, it’s an island in the Mediterranean whose closest neighbor is Sicily. It was settled by the Knights, which contributes to not only the history of the island but also its aesthetics. For the most impressive views of the ocean take a drive through the Dingli Cliffs, the highest point on the island. You can also swim in the crystal clear waters of the Blue Lagoon in Comino. If you’re looking for more of a city experience, head over to the capital city of Valletta which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There you will find plenty of luxury hotels, restaurants, and shops. Finally, visit the Hagar Qim Mnajdra Temples, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

You may not be familiar with Maltese food, but we can guarantee you’ll find something you’ll love. Stuffat gal-fenek, a carefully cooked rabbit stew, is considered the national dish. Another representative dish of this island nation is lampuki pie, basically a fish pie with potatoes, spinach, capers, and other delicious flavors. If you’re more fond of desserts, you’ll love cassata, a colorful cake with marzipan, almond paste, and sweet ricotta heavily influenced by their Sicilian neighbors. 

Malta is warm most of the year, so there really isn’t a bad time to visit. To avoid the extreme summer heat, head over during early summer or early fall.
