So, you like small countries with warmer weather? Your ideal destination in Europe is the Malta!
If you are craving sunshine and a place to explore that feels refreshingly manageable look no further than Malta, a sun-drenched archipelago in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea.
This tiny island nation boasts a rich history dating back millennia, all packed into a compact area. Malta is perfect for those who want to experience everything a destination has to offer without feeling overwhelmed.
Start your exploration in Valletta, the island's UNESCO-listed capital, where honey-colored buildings and baroque architecture will transport you back in time.
Take the bus outside the capital to the colorful fishing village of Marsaxlokk, where bobbing luzzus (traditional Maltese boats) will fill your Instagram feed for weeks.
Don't forget to delve into Malta's ancient past and head inland to Mdina and Rabat. Rabat is an Ancient Roman city that was also a refuge from pirates in the 15th century.
Mdina dates back to the Phoenicians of the 8th century B.C. While you're in the neighborhood, head to the mysterious megalithic temples of Ħaġar Qim to round out your Maltese experience.
