Malta : the island of sunshine and history

Abstract

To live under perennial blue skies is a rare privilege. Malta, with its sun-drenched scenery and embraced by warm glistening waters of the blue Mediterranean is the island home of a peace-loving and hospitable people; ever so anxious to make the visitor's stay amongst them an unforgettable holiday. A small nation with the longest history in the world -- a medieval bastion, a nuclear age outpost, a mellowing blend of old and new. An island, only a few flight hours away from principal cities, but very remote from their noise and pushing crowds. A perfect haven for those who want to get away from the northern winters and the crashing tempo of fast metropoli. [Excerpt]
