Maltese Sunshine

Malta is a hugely popular summer destination, unsurprising with over 300 days of sunshine a year, crystal clear Mediterranean oceans and golden beaches. For the more culturally inclined, Malta is an island with huge historic relevance; most notably it was the home of the Knights of St John.

Malta’s capital Valletta has kept its medieval style, built in the 16th century it is a gorgeous amalgamation of sun kissed historical architecture. Considered a UNSCO heritage site, the city has the highest concentration of historical sites in the world. There is a multitude of imposing buildings including St Johns and St Pauls Cathedral's, St Johns is supposedly built on the ruins of a Roman Governors Villa which dates back to 60AD; history is inescapable here.

Malta is renowned for its sun, and rightly so. Places such as the Blue Lagoon, in the western portion of the island, provide some of the bluest waters and best swimming in the world. The history below the waves almost matches the treasures on the island. Malta is world class for diving, everything from sunken ships to crashed WW2 bombers rest around these islands. The other settlements around the Island also provide delights, much more history and with all that sun cocktails do seem in order…Corks bar in Bulluta Bay provides the best.

Take a hike to visit to the Dingli cliffs or grab rich cup of coffee in St Julian's whilst looking over the coast. You might even spot boats taking holiday makers to the island of Gozo.

Malta is a combination of beautiful sun and beaches and a historical goldmine. Catch every ray and explore the island by car with a Green Motion convertible Renault Megane.
