Small country. Long memory.
Three inhabited islands — Malta, Gozo and Comino — in the centre of the Mediterranean, closer to Tunis than to Rome. Phoenician, Roman, Arab, Norman, Knights’, French, British — and somehow, irreducibly, itself. English is co-official. Plugs are UK three-pin. They drive on the left.
It is, quietly, the easiest Mediterranean holiday a British traveller can take.

Stories from the islands.
Our writers live in Malta. They send us reports from Gozo’s salt pans, Valletta’s wine bars and Comino’s quietest coves — the kind of detail you only get from people who know.
“The Mediterranean rinses Malta in light — honey at sunrise, copper at dusk, and somewhere in between, the bluest sea you’ve ever swum in.”
