The strategic location of the Maltese islands has allowed them to play a small but important part in the rich and varied history of the Mediterranean. Successive waves of traders, occupiers and colonisers have left their indelible mark on Malta. Less than 100 Km South of Sicily and 350 Km North of Africa, the islands are easily accessible to today's traveller.

Mild Winters and Hot Summers make them the ideal destination for a relaxing holiday, and the startlingly blue seas that surround them are some of the cleanest in the Mediterranean.

Civilisation dawned in Malta long before recorded history. The Stone Age Farmers From Sicily probably arrived here around 5000 BC. A religious cult of the dead evolved, and judging by the architecture of the time, became quite complex. The mysterious prehistoric temples left behind are considered unique, pre-dating other ancient wonders such as the great Pyramids and Stonehenge.
