5 Walks with Beautiful Ocean Views to Do in Malta This Summer
The Mediterranean archipelago of Malta, just over 400 miles off Italy‘s southern coast, encompasses multiple worlds. To visit here is to stroll alongside European, African, and Middle Eastern culture and heritage, typically in the same town and often on the same block — and all within just 122 square miles of land. The countryside is peaceful and colourful, especially in spring and early summer when nature is in bloom.
