Holidays to Malta & Gozo

Everywhere you step upon this amazing island there seems to be a reminder of its rich and colourful past. Its key location has been a prize for invaders over the millennia including the Greeks, Knights of Malta, the Sicilians, Muslims; Bonaparte’s French to name but a few until at last the island became a part of the British Empire in 1814. A love affair with Malta by the British had begun, a major naval base was established at Valletta and generations of sailors enjoyed the hospitality of the friendly islanders. When the tourism boom blossomed in the 60’s and 70’s Malta’s climate and welcoming locals soon became a popular destination for UK visitors.
