Malta's history is intimately tied up with the history of Grand Harbour. It was the Harbour's natural magnificence, which persuaded the Knights of St John to come here in 1530 and, make the island a vital defence post in the struggle raging at the time between Cross and Crescent.

Be on deck when your cruise liner is entering the Grand Harbour when you are about to see and photograph those bastions and fortifications built by the Knights of St John. Those same fortifications which keep Malta's history so much alive. It was the same Grand Harbour, rescued so many times by the surrounding bastions of Valletta on one side and the Three Cities on the other, which served this country for years on end. This is only the beginning of a short but pleasantly surprising experience. Visit the Neolithic Temples, visit Valletta, visit the old capital also known as the Silent City - MDINA, visit the Three Cities or visit The whole Island which is blessed by a pleasant climate and a hospitable and warm people, Malta presents visitors with southern comfort, a down to earth sophistication and a galaxy of stunning, visual experiences.

What to leave out, remains a problem!!!!!!
