Malta


	Malta Malta is one of the most romantic and charming of all Mediterranean destinations, with a warm year-round sunshine, friendly locals, and a wealth of historic and cultural sightseeing opportunities. Malta enjoys close ties with Britain and Europe. English and Italian are widely spoken throughout the islands, they drive on the left and even pubs resemble English and Continental pubs.

			Nevertheless, the pace of life in Malta can only be described as Mediterranean, making it perfect for those seeking a relaxing holiday and / or romantic honeymoon - although taking time out to explore the many attractions of the islands would also be a rewarding experience.
