Malta a sunshine country for me

Malta is made up of two main islands: the larger island of Malta and smaller Gozo. Each has its own unique charms. The ‘big island’ is more built-up and boasts a greater number of attractions, while Gozo offers a more relaxed, natural feel. Where to go in Malta? Valletta:The capital city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, renowned for its baroque architecture, grand cathedrals, and fortified walls. Mdina: The ancient capital boasts a rich history, with its iconic St. Paul's Cathedral and underground catacombs. Megalithic Temples: These ancient temples, some dating back over 5,000 years, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Fort Saint Elmo: A 16th-century citadel overlooking the Grand Harbour. Malta offers a variety of beaches, including Golden Bay, known for its white sand, crystal-clear waters, and rocky cliffs. Coastline: The islands feature dramatic cliffs, secluded coves, and azure blue waters. For Gozo Diving Gozo has some very impressive dive sites, one of the most popular being the Blue Hole. The Gozitan underwater geography is very interesting, and so is the sea life. Dive centres in Gozo vary from garage operations to fully equipped 5-star IDC centres. Gozo boasts one of the most remarkable churches on the archipelago, situated at Ta'Pinu, which was visited by Pope John Paul II in 1990. A record of his visit is situated at the rear of the church. The beaches are usually quiet and idyllic. One of the most beautiful beaches on Gozo is San Blas Beach and is easily accessible by car or bus.
