About Malta

Malta is the splendid hidden gem of southern Europe, located idyllically between two imposing continents and surrounded by the crystal blue seas of the Mediterranean. It lies around 93 km south of the Italian island of Sicily, roughly 288 km east of Tunisia and about 333 km north of the Libyan coast.

Thanks to its central location, Malta has throughout its history always been considered significantly important. Ever since pre-historic times, when the first human recorded imprint was left – dating back to 5200 B.C.E – Malta’s geographical position has consistently influenced and shaped up the country we now know today.
