Malta is very charming and yet very intense. It is a beautiful sunny island in the Mediterranean Ocean. It is one of the smallest cities of the world, with a population of approx. 400'000 people. The Republic of Malta consists of many small islands, only three of which are inhabited: Gozo, Comino and Malta. They drive on the left hand side, just as they do in England, but with their hands on the horn, just as they do in Italy, and they have an afternoon siesta just as they do in the Arabian world and in Spain. They also worship the ocean, just as their ancestors did before them. Malta is situated between Sicily and North Africa and offers something special for every visitor.
