The island country boasts 12 Blue Flag beaches, more than 100 diving spots and plenty of opportunities for watersports.

Malta is the biggest and where you'll find the largest amount of restaurants and hotels.

Here, you could explore Mdina's ancient streets and the views from the Dingli Cliffs, the highest viewpoint on the island.

On the other hand, Gozo feels more like a "normal island", with tourists coexisting with the local agriculture and fishing.

The smallest island is unspoiled Comino, which lies between the two and is a great place to get away from it all, as it is inhabited and car-free.
