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.

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...

An underwater adventure in Malta
Sean Wilton
Heading off for a diving trip to Malta I envisaged myself swimming 'Man from Atlantis' style through crystal clear waters surrounded by shoals of exotic fish writes Sean Wilton. Yes I'd read the brochures describing the sun-drenched charms magnificent reefs and warm summer seas of Malta and it seemed like the perfect setting for my aquatic adventure. Malta's unspoiled waters and rocky coastline with its many coves and grottos rich fauna and sealife has seen the tiny Mediterranean island become something of an essential destination for divers.

Malta site explained It wasn't little green men, just farmers scratching a living
Maev Kennedy Arts and heritage correspondent
The mystery of a prehistoric site cited as, variously, a launch pad for little green men or the tracks leading to Atlantis, could be finally solved. Known as the Maltese Clapham Junction, the expanse of scrubby fields and barren rock is a bewilder ing complex of tracks believed to be up to 6,000 years old, gouged into solid limestone of the island whose megalithic temples are the oldest stone buildings in the world.

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.
