We are heading over to the ex-British Island of Malta to explore its long and varied history and culture. Beginning with the islands unique ancient stone Temples which are amongst the oldest and most magnificent in the world and are a reminder of a lost civilization, which dissapeared as suddenly as it appears.
We will have free time in the town of Rabat, where it is said St Paul once lived in a cave. You can visit his grotto, the Pauline Cathedral above it and the labyrinthine Catacombs. On the edge of town the magnificent hill top Citadel of Madina provides the most spectacular views over the island and Mediterranean.
From our base at the Hotel
on the magnificent waterfront at Sliema, we will also be visitig Valletta,
the capitol city and home of the Knights of St John, who once ran the
island and still have a real precence here. We will be taking a
ferry to the beautiful island of Gozo which seems to have been fixed in
time and also has one of the best presurved ancient sites, the Ggantija
Temple.
