As the sunny days begin growing longer and the lake just doesn't satisfy people's lust, the mass migration begins. Malta is often overlooked by those pesky tourists in exchange for places like Spain or Italy.
Malta, a small island no larger than Paris, is located in the center of the Mediterranean. Thus making travel to the remote island a bit more of a challenge for your average tourists. Malta in itself is more commonly related to as a large open air museum containing the remains of 7,000 years of history.
Its culture is mainly made up of old Italian habits, brought to them by the Knights of St John of Jerusalem, thereafter known as the Knights of Malta. But is has also experienced both French Napoleonic dominance and English Colonial rule. Therefore, one is not to be surprised when the Maltese language contains several resemblances to different languages.
Malta is an ideal place for both terrain and aquatic activities. These sports range from golf, horseback riding, and rock climbing, to windsurfing, diving, and sailing. But for those seeking a relaxing time, a great option would be to just relax on the hot powdery sand or dipping into the crystal blue water which surrounds the whole of the island.
One of the most attractive features of Malta, according to the tourist officials, is none other than eating out. Traditional Maltese dishes are a combination of Italian, Arabic, Spanish and French cuisine which each by themselves is renown and is what makes Maltese food one of the mostly appreciated. Sea food should not be overlooked either, for it is a major part of the Maltese cuisine and one of the major exports of salt water fishes around the Europe.
But even with all of this, the activities in Malta are not over. The island has focused on the night life around the major cities with great fervor, with the goal of attracting the millions of young people traveling around Europe every year.
