Why Malta.
Malta packs 7,000 years of history onto a few sun-baked islands — the Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum and the Ġgantija temples predate the pyramids.
Valletta, the fortified baroque capital and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was built by the Knights of St John; St John’s Co-Cathedral holds Caravaggio’s largest canvas.
The Blue Lagoon off Comino is a shock of turquoise; Gozo, the quieter sister island, offers diving, salt pans, and the rural Malta of a generation ago.
English is an official language and the climate is among the sunniest in Europe, making it an easy, year-round Mediterranean base.
Diving is world-class — wrecks, caves, and clear water; the collapse of the Azure Window still draws divers to its underwater remains off Gozo.
