Found in the central Mediterranean, about 80km due south of Sicily, Malta, and its smaller islands of Gozo and Comino, hold a wealth of opportunities for active travellers.

On top of the islands’ stunning natural beauty – rugged cliffs, sparkling azure waters, picturesque villages and hidden, lush valleys to name a few – these varied landscapes are a paradise for hikers and bikers, as well as divers, climbers and more.

And when you’re giving your legs a rest, these islands are also brimming with beautiful historic sites to explore, such as the ancient city of Mdina and Ggantija Temples.
