20 THINGS TO DO IN MALTA & GOZO

Dear All,

This is the first time I am writing a proper welcome letter to my Blog page to tell you everything about the exciting destinations we are featuring in 2014 and what we are planning to introduce in 2015.

The great surprise has been Malta, a unique Island a short drive from Sicily. I used to live in Malta at the beginning of my career in 2000 but at that time, it was so different. I used to disliked it. As a matter of fact I decided to settle down in Sicily again. Two years ago I decided to give a go to Malta and all of a sudden I found myself in a new country, a new image of the island. The Euro brought so many good things differently than our country. In 2014 we have introduced a Malta and Gozo tour called Legendary islands..we were sceptic about its success but it has become our Top Seller tour with lots of bookings for 2015. We are very pleased with the outcome.

There is so much to do on this small island of ours that visitors often feel like they must be missing out something. 
We've rounded up a few of the things to do and see that are such an intrinsic part of our daily life.

1) Take a walk along the Sliema and St Julian's seafront and enjoy a wonderful Mediterranean meal at one of the many restaurants along the way.

2) Visit the Ggantija temples - said to be the oldest free- standing structures in the world.

3) Browse for additional delicacies and local crafts at the Victoria Market in Gozo.
