Weekend Breaks to Malta

No visit to Malta would be complete without a visit to its elegant, walled city of Mdina and suburb, Rabat, in the Old Town. Mdina and Rabat is imbued with more than 4000 years of history when they formed part of a Roman settlement. Walking through Mdina, one feels as though you have been transported in a Time Capsule to a second era of bygone yesteryear. It was here in AD 60, the Apostle Paul was rumored to have lived whilst shipwrecked in the Maltese islands.

A quiet town on the days when cars are generally peaceful (more out of respect for the ghosts in the city), Mdina really comes alive at night when hundreds of blinking lights and lanterns dotted the interior of the walled city transform the narrow, curved streets, leading into bastions and palace courtyards into something out of a fairy tale. You can enjoy a delicious al fresco meal at one of the countless restaurants in Mdina and enjoy a glass of chilled beer in one of the bars under the glittering lights of this exotic city walled.

This old medieval capital of Malta rises high above the Maltese Islands and offers panoramic views over the city. Many hiking and scenic bus tours available to discover the hidden delights of this magical city.

The Maltese islands are at the heart of the Mediterranean Sea and is often referred to as the islands of sunshine and history. Less than one three-hour flight from England, and with a good selection of airlines such as Air Malta and GB Airways operates daily flights from Gatwick, Heathrow, Stansted, Manchester and Birmingham as well as low cost airlines now operating from other regional airports, it has never been easier to come to Malta for a quick weekend or a longer holiday.

After viewing the ancient city of Malta and the fortified town of Mdina, performed by some innocent looking street vendor offering you a once-in-a unique marketing and relaxed on the soft honeycomb at Ghadira Bay ... is it time to dive! Malta offers fantastic diving and water sports opportunities for both beginners and advanced open water and cave divers in its tiny, unspoiled island of Comino, with its stunning blue lagoon. Every visitor to Malta should take the time to visit the uninhabited island of Comino and the quiet, green island of Gozo. Day trips to nearby Italian and Sicilian towns are very popular among tourists who can get there by car and passenger ferries.
