Malta is located almost in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, on the route between Europe, Asia, and Africa. Its pleasant climate makes this island especially attractive for vacations – in January and February, the air temperature is around +15°C, and in March, it reaches +18°C. Throughout history, Malta was contested by Greeks, Romans, and Arabs. Napoleon captured the island in 1798, and just two years later, Malta came under British rule. Thanks to its rich and complex history, Malta boasts numerous architectural and historical landmarks tied to various cultures. And since the island has an excellent bus network, and you can travel from one end to the other in about three hours, a 5–7 day trip will allow you to see all its main attractions.
