Malta & Gozo Holidays


europe
Malta holidays offer an enthralling combination of variety and charm. Nestled in the Mediterranean Sea between Sicily and the North African coast.

Home to medieval dungeons, prehistoric temples and towns scattered with Baroque palaces and Renaissance cathedrals, Malta holidays are rich in history. The capital Valletta boasts stunning architecture, fascinating museums and a beautiful Grand Harbour full of traditional fishing boats, stately yachts and modern speedboats. Renowned for world class snorkelling and diving, watersports enthusiasts flock to explore Malta's world of underwater caves and wrecks.

Neighbouring Gozo has a more relaxed feel and distinct character all of its own. Active visitors can still enjoy mountain biking, walking holidays, kayaking and other watersports; but Gozo also offers the perfect opportunity to relax. With delicious cuisine focused on freshly caught local produce and secluded coves at every turn.

Trailfinders offers a range of holidays to Malta & Gozo and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether visiting Malta to delve into intriguing history, Gozo for an adrenaline fuelled adventure, or both of these picturesque islands on a relaxed island hopping escapade – they are the perfect people to ask.
