Malta and its sister islands, Gozo and little Comino, have enjoyed a full history from the dawn of civilization in the Mediterranean. Here are the oldest known human structures in the world, medieval citadels, 360 churches, village festivals dating back centuries and a rich annual Carnival tradition making Malta one of Europe's finest cultural experiences for a visitor. Malta is on the edge of many new changes and challenges. Mediterranean culture is very much the dominant force in Malta today. English is an official language alongside Maltese.

no where else will you find great beaches combined with such a fascinating cultural heritage. Malta is also well known for one of the Mediterranean's largest concentrations of English language schools, some of the world's best diving centers, world class yachting and cruise line facilities, a highly developed visitor and convention infrastructure and above all a friendly, worldly population of natives.

Malta is approximately 17 miles long, and 9 miles wide, while the island of Gozo is roughly 9 miles by 5. While Malta has a population of 345,000 the corresponding figure for Gozo is only about 25,000. The Maltese Islands are just 60 miles from Sicily, and 180 miles from the African continent.

Malta is caretaker to the oldest known temples in the world. They are still standing and in an excellent state of preservation. They tell the the tale of a time when the Mediterranean honored the Fertility Goddess and tribes from distant shores gathered on Malta to worship communally.

Malta was the official home of the Knights of the Order of St.John (better known as the Knights of Malta), during which period a concerted attempt was made to invade the country by the Turks.

Malta is noted for its fine crafts, particularly its handmade lace, hand woven fabrics, blown glass and silver filigree. Folk traditions in music are very strong, and Malta holds a folk song competition every year. The Maltese have achieved considerable prosperity, thanks largely to tourism. Every summer the Maltese population triple in size due to a huge influx of welcome tourists, but the island nation is also increasingly benefiting from trade and light industries, including the highly prized film industry.

Answer 6

Ignorant, rude, lazy, racist people & streets full of rubbish & dog mess. Uneven pavements, terrible roads, terrible drivers who don't wear seatbelts themselves or make their kids wear them, usually whilst using a mobile phone & most people don't just drink drive, they literally drive home drunk. Corrupt lazy police who let the locals get away with murder & only make an example of the odd few foreigners so it looks like they are doing something. The whole country looks a bit like Syria or elsewhere in the Middle East, with awful ugly limestone buildings & there are no trees just weeds & the odd palm tree. No wildlife either as the mentally challenged men like to pretend they are Rambo & shoot anything that moves or they trap poor little birds & keep them in tiny cages. Lovely place.
