The Island of Malta region
Megaliths, medieval dungeons and Calypso's Cave – The Maltese Islands are positively mythic. The narrow meandering streets of their towns and villages are crowded with Renaissance cathedrals and Baroque palaces. As the countryside is dotted with the oldest known human structures in the world, the Islands have rightly been described as an open-air museum.
The Maltese archipelago lies virtually at the centre of the Mediterranean, with Malta 93km south of Sicily and 288km north of Africa. The archipelago consists of three islands: Malta, Gozo and Comino with a total population of 400,000 inhabitants over an area of 316sq km and a coastline of 196.8km (not including 56.01 km for the island of Gozo).
Malta is the largest island and the cultural, commercial and administrative centre. Gozo is the second largest island and is more rural, characterised by fishing, tourism, crafts and agriculture while Comino is largely uninhabited.
With superbly sunny weather, expansive beaches, a thriving nightlife and 7,000 years of intriguing history, there is a great deal to see and do. With a little help from any guidebook, captivating places of interest are immediately identified – the world famous Hypogeum selected as a place of World Heritage by UNESCO, prehistoric temples and grand palaces are but a few.
The long relationship between the Islanders and the various nationalities that occupied Malta over the centuries has created a marriage of styles and traditions, giving the Islands a fascinating eclectic culture.
True to the melting pot of cultural influences, the national languages are English and Maltese.
Sliema area
Sliema is Malta's top up-market tourist destination, which caters for all tastes and ages. Whether it's sea, shopping, restaurants, pubs or great nightlife, Sliema has it all! Sliema is also a few minutes by car to all Malta's major town's and just across the harbour from Malta's capital city, Valletta.
Malta has had such a rich history that the country is practically saturated with attractions and places of interest.
The capital city of Valletta host to regular plays and concerts, as well as scores of exhibitions and street events. The Museum of Archaeology in Valletta houses an exceptionally rich collection of prehistoric artefacts. The War Museum at Fort St. Elmo is home to a Sunday military parade in period costumes re-enactment and the capital also possesses the impressive Grand Master’s Palace and St. John’s Co-cathedral.
With 7,000 years of history, the sites to visit are endless – the Megalithic Temples (including Ggantija, the oldest freestanding temple in the world), the underground St Paul’s and St. Agatha’s catacombs, The Knights of St. John’s significant sites, such as Fort St Angelo and Fort Rinella (home to the world’s largest canon). WWII significant sites, such as the Mgarr war shelter, Mtarfa ex-British military buildings, The Armoury and the Maritime Museum in Vittoriosa are not to be missed.
Look out for the Alarme and In Guardia Historical re-enactments, as well as interactive walkthrough and multimedia attractions that offer an overview of Malta’s history in under an hour. They’re interesting and a great way to learn the significance of what visitors will later be looking at.
The Museum of Roman Antiquities (commonly referred to as “The Roman Villa”) and various catacombs are to be found in Rabat. In the fortified medieval city of Mdina, visitors will come across everything from Napoleonic troops to flower festivals. The Cathedral and its museum are not to be missed, as well as the torturous Mdina dungeons and the Mdina Experience. For a romantic stroll like no other, wander the lamp lit streets of Mdina at night. Don’t miss the renowned chocolate cake at Fontanella Tea rooms, situated right on the bastion with a spectacular view.
For those who love art, the possibilities are endless – visit the impressive artistic collection at the National Museum of Fine Arts, see the Caravaggio’s Beheading of St. John at St. John’s co-Cathedral and visit the restored al frescos at ‘Norman House’, Palazzo Falzon in Mdina. To view more contemporary work, walk around the exhibits at the St Johns Cavalier Art Centre.
For fanciful fun, highlights are the passionate carnival and open-air concerts. Not to be missed is the Nadur carnival in Gozo and the parade in Valletta. Children will enjoy activity and fun parks, which include the old film set of Popeye Village.
For those who love the water, scuba diving is an avid sport on the Islands. A harbour cruise, swimming at Blue Grotto in Comino and St Peters Pool in Marsascala, renting a jet-ski, chartering a yacht, visiting Mgarr Ix-Xini cove in Gozo and par kiting from one of the sandy beaches to get a birds eye view of Malta are all absolute water lover must-do’s.
The rural side of the Islands is fascinating, with charming villages & captivating folklore. With 365 spectacular churches, there are more than a few highlights - visit the Mosta church famous for its large dome (third largest dome in Europe). Visit the church of St. Nicholas in the village of Siggiewi.
Visit the three cities in Cottonera, have an evening walk on the Sliema or Bugibba promenade and visit the fortified Citadel in Gozo.
On Sunday morning go to the fishing village of Marsaxlokk market, the open-air market outside Valletta or the It-Tokk Victoria market in Gozo.
The Islands must be visited at festa time for an insight into local life with all its colour and passions.

The cost of a bus route ranges from €0.35 to €0.58 and the longest bus journey takes about fifty minutes; the average ride is between twenty and thirty minutes

Guestbook for *New on market* Tigne Seafront
"We stayed in july 2008, and if you are considering going to Malta and doing it properly don't look anywhere else, this is without doubt a first class apartment. No where will touch this in our opnion. Keith and his wife are really professional and always willing to help, and made our arrival really nice and welcoming. Located close to many nice places to eat and looks onto Valetta which looks amazing at night. We spent many a night sat on the balcony soaking it all up with the local "Cisk" beer.
Fantastic and worth every penny.
Regards to you Keith hope all is well Mark"
"We have been on holidays all over the world the and have to say that these apartments are the very best we have come across. Very modern, state of the art, extremely comfortable and enjoying a fantastic location. Keith the owner and Doris the house keeper are extremely friendly and helpful. As soon as you enter, you are in a fantasy world where Keith the owner has designed and furnished these to take account of a holiday makers needs. A comprehensive welcome pack, all the cooking utensils and facilities, an abundance of lighting, seating, bedding, towels, etc. all thoughfully selected and placed to maee your stay better than any five star hotel. And the location, views, access to buses, ideal.
Recommend this place to everyone. You will be delighted. Thank you Keith. Kanti"
" A fantastic apartment with fabulous views! Also very easy to access Valetta via the ferry which takes you over every 30 minutes. We were made to feel very welcome and it was nice to have a welcome pack on arrival. Within easy walking distance of restaurants, local bars, shopping complex and harbour cruises. Overall a very enjoyable experience and we look foward to returning in the near future. Thank you for a fabulous holiday!" C. Churcher, K. Jones & the boys.
"My wife and I had a marvellous holiday in Malta, due in no small part to the fantastic accommodation which we enjoyed at the apartment at Planet Court. The location and quality of the apartment were first class, and the helpfulness and attention to detail shown by the owners could not be faulted. We would certainly look to stay again at the apartment on future trips to Malta, and have no hesitation in recommending it to family, friends, colleagues and anyone seeking space, comfort and a brilliant, romantic position overlooking Valetta and the harbour.
With best wishes and thanks for making us feel welcome and looked after," Anthony Riches
"For anyone thinking of holidaying in the beautiful Malta I cannot recommend Apartment #33901 highly enough. Located right on the Tigne Seafront and boasting amazing views of the harbour and the Capital Valetta the area is rich with beautiful cafes, restaurants and bars. The apartment itself is based in a prime location, close to Valetta and the busy nightlife of Paceville. Beautifully designed with contemporary decor, it is well lit, clean and is fully air-conditioned, and is available at very reasonable rates. We were very well looked after by the landlord and thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Check this place out!!" Nicky D.
"The apartment is set in a wonderful location with stunning views of Valletta. Local restaurants, bars, buses and boat trips are all within easy reach and make car hire non essential. It has to be noted that parking in Sliema appeared to be quite a problem. This was our fourth trip to Malta and I have to say the accommodation is the most fabulous we have stayed in yet. It is equipped and decorated in a very "retro" style and would not look out of place in a glossy magazine. Every attention to detail has been met and the kitchen is particularly well equipped. The owners are extremely attentive and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. Many thanks for a wonderful holiday. Once again a big thankyou and good health and peace to you all."

"A short note to thank you for your hospitality during our recent holiday. We had a wonderful break, the flat is just perfect, and you could not have been more helpful. Thank you and we hope to return before too long!" John And Colette.
"We had a truly wonderful time in this fabulous apartment. Every wish was catered for and a superb welcome pack on arrival. Our 12 night stay in January did not disappoint. The weather was hot and sunny for the most part. And on wet days, which were few, it was a pleasure to retreat to the apartment. I truly think this must be the best apartment in Malta with great care to detail and the most stunning views whatever the weather. The location of the apartment could not be better placed. A few minutes walk to the cafés, restaurants, ferries, cruises and tour buses. And if you want to eat in, the supermarket is a 5 minute walk away. Hope to book again later in the year. Thank you for a wonderful holiday." Dee Stokes & Keith Cardell
