The Island of Malta region

Malta is much more than sun and sea although most visitors to the island come for its mild climate, besides its friendly people who speak English fluently.
Malta has much more to offer by way of its long and interesting history and pre-history. Situated in the middle of the sea that itself was right in thecentre of the Old World (Medi-terra ), Malta attracted the attention of all peoples that held predominance from time to time.
It boasts of the oldest free-standing architecture in the World in the form of megalithic temples that were built millennia before the Pyramids of Egypt. Then came the bronze age peoples, followed by the Phoenicians, the Carthagenians, the Romans, the Bysantines and the Arabs, who were finally chased away by the Normans.
All of these peoples have left cultural traces that are discreetly hidden away in the most unlikely of places for you to discover.
The Aragonese then took over during the feudal era of the middle ages until the arrival of the Knights of the Order of St. John. Their cultural heritage, with the city of Valletta being the apex, is widespread and easier to admire in the baroque style of architecture and works of art. Their influence was overwhelming although the Maltese still held to their simpler way of habitation and way of life. It is reflected in the number of churches and other edifices that were built since then in the same style.
Napoleon ended the splendid era of the Knights of Malta but only briefly as Horatio Nelson relieved the Maltese from the tyranny of the French. The British were the last to leave their influence on the island which consisted mainly of military establishments mainly in the neo-classical style.
Malta is amazing mixture of all these influences amidst and beside the traditional simpler constructions.

Mellieha / Santa Maria Estate area

Malta is a very small island nation that is very rich in its pre-historic and historic cultural heritage. Small is beautiful because during a short stay one can visit and dwell upon many of these national assets, as well as take in the sister island of Gozo, then relax to take in the sun and sea as well. One is well advised to rent a car to make the visits of interests in the morning and then relax by the pool in the afternoon, perhaps taking a siesta. The day could be brought to an happy ending by a delightful evening meal at one of the many and varied restaurants in Mellieha. Else try one's hand at the BBQ.

How to get there

Ryan Air (www.ryanair.com) fly to Malta on low cost frequent flights from Barcelona (Girona), Bremen, Dublin, Luton, Pisa, Stockholm, Valencia, and Venice. Malta's national airline, Air Malta (www.airmalta.com) have numerous scheduled flights daily from Heathrow and Gatwick besides several other frequent flights from several UK airports, like Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow. Airmalta has frequent scheduled flights from practically every country in the EU.

Car hire is recommended in Malta, where driving seems reckless but is safe and quickly accustomed to. All major car-hire firms like AVIS, Hertz, Sixt etc will provide cars promptly at the airport. Of course it is always better to pre-book.

> Villa Kentia is situated in Santa Marija Estate, Mellieha only some 20km away from the airport.
> Just follow signs to Gozo, and at Mellieha take second exit on roundabout.
> Take third road on the right, then first left and left again for 300 meters and you are there - Villa Kentia.
