Undiscovered Malta

Eight days half-board from only £759pp

Selected departures September and October 2013

You will be amazed at the Malta so few people have yet discovered.  There are wonderful seascapes and a coastline eroded over the centuries into sheer drops, huge caverns and contorted pillars of rock blending perfectly with the deep blue sea. The island of the Knights of St. John, the Maltese Falcon and the George Cross, have been at the crossroads of civilisation for 6,000 years and there is so much of their past on display.  You will see the imposing 16^th century fortifications of Valetta, the hauntingly atmospheric old capital of Mdina, early Christian catacombs, richly decorated cathedrals and the oldest temples on earth.  Blend all this with beautiful old towns, wonderful scenery and genuinely friendly local people and you have a superb destination for a tour.
