Why Malta

In the middle of the Mediterranean - the Gateway to Europe

The Maltese Archipelago is situated in the centre of the Mediterranean  Sea, some 93kms south of the Italian island of Sicily and is a bridge  between Europe and North Africa. Our history starts at 5000 B.C. with  Megalithic temples built and still standing today; Malta was occupied  by:

• Phoenicians
• Carthaginians
• Romans
• Byzantines
• Arabs
• Sicilians
• the Knights of St. John
• the British
• and more

Today Malta is an independent republic and a member of the European Union.

Malta has its own national airline, operating flights to and from all  major airports in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East and is also  a stopover for cruise liners. Its excellent climate, with pleasant weather  all the year round, not only attracts many tourists but has also become popular for purchase or rental of second homes for foreigners.


Malta boasts of:

• friendly people
• a very high standard of public and private hospitals, and medical services
• excellent schooling, with English being one of the  two official languages
• low levels of crime making Malta a safe place to live
• beautiful blue seas
• sporting facilities including sailing and diving
