The Maltese islands are a small archipelago of six islands
(Malta, Gozo, Comino, Cominotto, Filfla and St. Paul's islands) in the middle
of the Mediterranean sea, just south of Sicily. Our population is round
about 394,000.
The largest island of the group is Malta from which the archipelago takes
its name. Valletta is the capital city of Malta. The
other inhabited island is Gozo. It is quite different from Malta in many
ways and is mostly attractive for its less industrialized way of life. Gozo can be reached from Malta by ferry boat. Comino, Cominotto, Filfla and
St. Paul's islands are all smaller islands in the archipelago. Of these, only
Comino is inhabited (A single family leaves here). Comino owes its
popularity to a popular tourist resort
(A hotel) found on this island as well as to the very fine beaches it has like Blue
Lagoon.Malta's climate and blue sea
have both helped to make our island an important tourist resort in the centre of the
Mediterranean. The weather is hot in Summer, inviting tourists and locals to
enjoy our many wonderful beaches. Winter is not too cold and this encourages
people to visit our islands even in the 'cold' season. |
| Our history too plays an important part for
our tourism. Malta
is a country rich in culture and history. The historical remains found on our island
(Hagar Qim, Gigantija, Tarxien Temples, Roman Villa etc.) are interesting
historical sites that are really worth visiting! |
