Europe trips are usually the most luxurious tours among travellers. Some of the most visited places in Europe include London, Paris, Rome, Barcelona, Budapest and Venice. But aside these spots, there is also one small country in Europe which can offer world-class experience for tourists - Malta.
Malta is a relatively small country in the Mediterranean Sea that rests south of Sicily, Italy. Despite having small geographical size, Malta is actually rich in terms of history and culture. Malta is where the world's most ancient buildings and temples are found. Its position in the Mediterranean has also attracted the Greeks, Normans, British and French crusaders.
Malta is best for tourists as the country's beach season lasts for 6 months from April to October. Also, summers in Malta are basically dry and hot, making it perfect for tourists who love outdoor beach activities. According to Travel and Leisure, the thing that induces tourists to go to Malta is the assurance that the waters surrounding Malta are the clearest and the cleanest in the Mediterranean.
Golden Bay, located on the northwest coast of Malta is considered to be one of the island's most amazing sand beaches. Tourists can also go to the Blue Grotto. Encompassed of inlets and seven caves, Blue Grotto is known for its magnificent rock formations and deep blue waters. Small boats, where ride costs 8 Euros per person, can already bring tourists to this amazing piece of nature.
Another locality in Malta called Melliena is also one of the must-sees among tourists. The town is surrounded by Malta's largest and most magnificent sand beaches. Two miles away from Melliena, tourists can find the Popeye Village - the place where the film "Popeye" was set in 1980.
Some of the ancient spots to visit in Malta include the Hal Saflieni Hypogeum which is an underground temple and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as well. Tourists can also visit Mdina, a medieval town with its buildings enlightened at night, and was previously the capital of Malta.
On the other hand, according to Travel Weekly, English is one of the two official languages in Malta. This makes the communication between the locals and foreign tourists easier since the Maltese language is a mixture of Arabic and Italian, making it difficult to speak and understand.
Finally, Malta's locals are amazingly friendly to visitors. They tend to give you the warmest welcome you could ever receive from any foreign country you will visit, helping you explore the most spectacular Malta experience of your life.
