Get ready to immerse yourself in the delightful culture of this very Mediterranean island.

Malta is a captivating place, with activities, festivities and attractions to please all ages. As a predominantly Catholic island, religion remains an integral part of life here. The islanders’ calendar revolves around church occasions, including the vibrant annual festas (feasts) held to honour each town or village’s patron saint. They are great fun and very welcoming, and are held throughout the summer months.  Mellieha’s festa, which is dedicated to the Birth of Our Lady, is celebrated on 8th September.

Meanwhile, the Islands have famously been referred to as an open-air museum, and you can enjoy exploring every inch of the history that has shaped Malta’s exciting culture. Several of the Islands’ proudest sites have been designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the entirety of the capital city Valletta, the Hal-Saflieni Hypogeum in Paola and the impressive Megalithic Temples. Other areas are also being considered, such as the imposing bastions built by the Knights of St John, and the intricate catacomb complexes found in Rabat and other areas. It really is worth visiting all of them, as each sheds new light on the exciting nuances of these charming islands.
