While vacationing on a Mediterranean island is a dream come true for most people, for some reason, Malta still isn’t on most people’s radars. Well, that’s about to change because we’re here to offer a few reasons why you should visit Malta.

Malta is a Beachy Paradise

Let’s start with the obvious: Malta is a Mediterranean island, for Pete’s sake! With sun 300 days of the year, clear blue water, plenty of beaches to choose from, and amazing scuba diving, Malta is paradise.

Malta Has History

Hailing from the dawn of civilization and having been ruled and affected by the Arabs, Normans, Aragonese, Phoenicians, Carthaginians, and Romans, Malta has plenty of megalithic temples and fascinating history to explore.

Malta Is Affordable

If you’ve never heard of Malta, there’s one plus side to that: its lack of international reputation is partially responsible for why visiting Malta is 20% cheaper than visiting mainland Europe, including food and hotels.

Malta Is Convenient

Don’t have a week of vacation days to burn? No worries. Malta is only 317 square kilometers, so you can enjoy it in a few days without feeling like you’re missing anything important. Plus, Malta’s official language is English, so you don’t have to worry about fussing with a travel dictionary.
