Fort Manoel on the Manoel Island

Fort Manoel on the Manoel Island

A very remote, small island right across the water from Valletta. If you're looking for a place with no tourists yet still want to stay near the city center, then this place is for you. This little island is very empty and has absolutely no tourist conveniences like shops, bars, or entertainment. The main reason you come here is for the amazing view of Valletta from across the bay.

Conclusion

Conclusion

Malta is not a tropical island, it's a dry piece of land near Africa yet it's so full of different places, activities and entertainment. It has been an independent country since 1956 but you can still feel the British spirit in it. We've described only the main island but there are also small islands nearby like Gozo, Comino and even Sicily which is only half an hours flight from Malta.
