Malta

The Maltese archipelago, composed of three islands, Malta, Gozo and Comino, is located in the heart of the Mediterranean, exactly between southern Italy and North Africa occupying a total area of 316 sq . Km .

The official languages of the country are Maltese and English, the latter being a legacy from the period when Malta was a British colony; the United Kingdom is the most recent external power. The Maltese culture is a reflection of the different cultures that, over the centuries, have come into contact with the Maltese islands, including the nearby Mediterranean culture and those of the nations that ruled Malta for long periods before its total independence. Malta has more than 7000 years of history. Land of great charm, rich in history, traditions and art treasures with a vast cultural and artistic heritage, testimony of distant domination over time, such as the Phoenicians, the Turks and the English.

The waters surrounding the islands are generally considered among the clearest in the Mediterranean. Snorkelling, scuba diving, golf and boat trips are highly recommended.
