The Maltese Islands - Malta Gozo Comino Cominetto Filfla St Pauls Islands (see map of malta ) are only 93kms south of Sicily and 288 km north of Africa. Just a short distance away, considering that some of us drive further than this to go to work. Air Malta is its official airline which hosts flights to a number of European and Middle Eastern cities During summer, ferry services are available between Malta and Sicily. A trip to Catania (Sicily) taking only three hours.
Worlds apart from the main resorts and the capital Valletta, are the Islands’ villages. They are the epitomé of Mediterranean life. The soul of the Islands’ past. Yet with their lively festas and unique everyday life they are very much part of the Islands’ culture today. Even the smallest has its own baroque wonder, the parish church. And to locals, each village has its unique character. After visiting a few, you’ll soon pick up on the differences.
