No destination on the Mediterranean is more interesting and culturally rich than the three small islands of Malta (Malta, Camino and Gozo).
Malta is a photographers dream with the sheer amount is has to offer. It has a deep history to explore and miles of beautiful coastline. Mdina and Valletta have beautiful windows and doors that will keep you busy for days.
In the harbors, you will find colorful Luzzu boats, the traditional Maltese fishing boats and in Gozo you will see the most beautiful crystal clear water.
Unlike those tropical beach destinations in the Caribbean or those cultural tours around Rome, Malta offers it all!
Here are a few suggestions for those amazing Instagram photos.....
MARSAXLOKK
Marsaxlokk is a delightful little fishing village situated in the southern part of Malta. Here you will find the colorful Luzzu boats floating in the harbor. If you love photography, you will want to put this at the top of your list.
SENGLEA
This locality is truly one of the jewels of the Maltese Islands, being also one of the oldest cities dating back to the 16thcentury. It city not only boasts of a rich heritage but also contains many structures built by the Knights themselves, making it one of the heaviest fortified areas on the Island. It is indeed a gem enclosed by spectacular bastions, overlooking stunning views and still guarding the Grand Harbor as it did centuries ago.
Valletta has such unique architecture. The windows, doors, and steep steps beg to be captured. When the cruise ships dock, the city becomes crowed, but later in the day you will find a maze of empty streets and the locals going about their everyday life.
MDINA
The history of Mdina traces back more than 4000 years. According to tradition it was here that in 60 A.D. that the Apostle St. Paul is said to have lived after being shipwrecked on the Islands.
POPEYE'S VILLAGE
Popeye Village Malta has grown from its days as a Film Set of the 1980 Musical Production 'Popeye' into one of the major tourist attractions on the Maltese Islands filled with a number of colorful fun activities for all young and young at heart
GOZO
Much of Gozo has been spared from development and the traditional way of life has been largely preserved. Buildings and houses in Gozo are mainly constructed with natural materials as opposed to many of the concrete and breeze-block construction on the mainland.
