This island nation’s strategic location in the middle of the Mediterranean, just south of Sicily, has created a fascinating history. On our 8-day Malta tours you’ll get to explore its tiny 16th-century capital, Valletta, built by the Knights of St John. Then travel even further back in time to around 3600 BC with a humbling visit to Hagar Qim (Worshipping Stones), a megalithic temple complex. Round off your historical immersion with a visit to the atmospheric towns of Mosta, Rabat and Mdina.
