"London, New York, Tokyo -- each of these metropolitan areas is bigger than Malta. That compactness, coupled with an extensive bus system, lets you see the best of what it has to offer with ease."
The worldwide news channel CNN.com features an article this month on what a fantastic island Malta is and mentions many of the reasons to visit - from the history and architecture, to the beauty of the Blue Grotto, and the beaches.
"It is here that you start to get a sense of what sets a journey to Malta apart from Europe's more visited travel destinations. Ħaġar Qim and Mnajdra are just two of seven ancient temples that make up a UNESCO World Heritage site described by a leading prehistorian as "the oldest free-standing monuments in the world." These sites represent just one epoch of many you will find on your trip."
Following on from the historical delights, the article goes on to mention the culture and nightlife that make Malta not only a great place to relax and enjoy the fantastic scenery and climate but also to take in the vibrancy of this unique island.
"A trip to Malta is not merely a walk through a living history book. No matter where you go and what you see, Malta's unique spot -- in the Mediterranean and in history -- is felt everywhere."
