Malta is a small nation with a big past. Its three islands – Malta, Gozo and tiny Comino – are interwoven with a long and often fraught human story that spans the Mediterranean Sea.
On our visit, we spent one week milling with the many in the tourist town of Sliema on Malta, followed by a week of peace and relative solitude on nearby Gozo. The two experiences couldn’t have been more different, but each island offered its own special insights into the enduring history, landscapes and people that have made this small country such a fascinating and timeless place to visit. Here’s a gallery of our favourite pics from our stay on the islands.
