Malta City Breaks

Malta City Breaks - A sunshine island of exotic cultures
Nestling in the azure Mediterranean midway between Sicily and North Africa, the island of Malta offers a real melting pot of cultures and an extremely rich history. Numerous Italian tailors, colourful Arab street bazaars and North European medieval architecture attest to its variety of influences, yet it retains a thoroughly British atmosphere. Perpetually bathed in sunshine, a Malta city break will undoubtedly enjoy warm afternoons of lazy sunbathing, water sports galore and an intensely beautiful coastline of hidden lagoons, rugged cliff tops and wide sandy bays.
