Malta may not be big, and it may not have the breathtaking scenery of other Mediterranean destinations, but the lovely group of islands exudes the kind of quiet charm that attracts repeat visitors.
Picture deep-blue bays with brightly painted fishing boats and medieval cities with honey-colored stone buildings. A mix of cultures from Rome to Britain has influenced these five little islands over the centuries, so you'll find Italian baroque architecture and an English accent combined with the Maltese gusto for life. Add good restaurants, friendly people and the remains of an ancient culture, and you'll begin to understand Malta's appeal.
