Holidays to Malta

From its ancient temples dating back to the Stone Age to its medieval walled towns and baroque cities, Malta is steeped in history.

The island's picturesque coastlines, charming fishing ports, and tranquil bays offer the perfect blend of relaxation and scenic exploration. Known as "Honey sweet" by the ancient Greeks and "Haven" by the Phoenicians, Malta boasts ancient temples dating back to the Stone Age, charming fishing ports, and historic towns and cities. You could delve into Malta's Neolithic past and explore landmarks such as the prehistoric temples of Ggantija and Tarxien, which predate even the Pyramids and Stonehenge. Wander the quaint streets of the medieval walled town of Mdina, and the baroque city of Valletta, founded by the Knights of St John.

Perhaps you'll visit while sailing onboard one of our incredible tall ship cruises? One stop on a epic voyage across the Mediterranean. Or you could choose to stay a while and explore this small, yet jam-packed, island.

A lovely well planned holiday, everything went very smoothly. The food was very good with plenty of choices and the accommodation was comfortable. The hotel staff were attentive, helpful and pleasant.
We cannot speak highly enough of our guide Fiona Dalton who was really fantastic, she was attentive, caring and made everything go smoothly. I must also add that the coach drivers were superb.
