About Malta

Malta lies in the centre of the Mediterranean Sea.  It lies 80 km (50 mi) south of Sicily, 284 km east of Tunisia and 333 km north of Libya. The country covers just over 316 km2, making it one of the world's smallest and most densely populated countries. Malta is a favorite tourist destination due to its warm climate, and architectural and historical heritage which includes nine UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Malta is just a few hours' flying time from most mainland European cities and has excellent intercontinental connections with the main international airports. The national airline, Air Malta, operates flights to and from all the major airports in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. Other main airlines and various low-cost carriers also operate regularly to and from Malta, particularly during the summer months.
