Go slow in Gozo
Jo Gardner
To holiday in Malta and not spend a day in Gozo is to miss out on one of the delights of the Mediterranean. And for the 400,000 day trippers who step ashore in Gozo each year, the brief visit invariably inspires a longer return stay.

Maltese crossroads
Stephen Pincock
With a population equivalent to that of a small city, Malta has done better than most in ensuring equitable health care. But c chronic funding shortages mean the country's health system requires a delicate balancing act-one which EU requirements threaten to upset. Stephen Pincock reports.

Magic Malta; it's the perfect family destination
Gill Williams
Mighty stone forts with towers and battlements provide plenty of inspiration for sandcastles when you take the kids for a family holiday on Malta. The island and its little sisters Gozo and Comino make up one of the most child-friendly destinations in the Med.

Way to Gozo
Iain Mayhew
Weekender: travel: way to Gozo; the simple way of life charmed... The Gozitans live in squat stone-built houses, as they have for centuries. They grow potatoes and other cash crops the same way they have always done. They harvest salt from salt pans as they did during Roman times. And they worship at churches - nearly all of them the size of cathedrals - as they have since the Crusades. ...

Mediterranean - Malta's worth a troy!
Kerry McCarthy
As everything is within walking distance, even the most exclusive hotels are just a stone's throw from noisy night clubs. Despite its undoubted charms, Malta still is a bit brash, so I would prefer it as a short-break holiday destination, to grab some Mediterranean sun and escape the everyday cares of home.

Vestiges of invasions and views of the sea; history and tourism collide in Malta
Otto Pohl
...Around us was evidence of invasion. Armies from almost all regional powers that ever flourished near the Mediterranean besieged Malta at some point, including the Phoenicians, Romans, Byzantines, Islamic armies and the French. These days, it is battalions of tourists. We were surrounded by flabby tourists showing too much flesh. I looked up at the blue sky and concentrated on my drink...

Malta well worth the long trip
Diane Menzies
"Why Malta?" That's a question a Canadian tourist in this tiny island country hears frequently from Maltese who seem surprised someone would come from so far away. Few Canadians, or Americans for that matter, venture this far from the usual Mediterranean destinations. But Malta, just south of Sicily, has been a popular spot for Europeans, particularly Brits, for decades. And the trip is well worth a little jet lag.

Gozo - Hidden jewel of the Mediterranean
Barry White
Malta may or may not be worth a holiday - though I wonder at a tourist attraction like the puzzling "cart tracks", which look more like fissures in the rock than ruts left by some prehistoric farmer. But Gozo, for diving, sun ("last rain was June, or was it February?") and switching off, certainly is.
