If you look at a map, Malta is basically a pixel. It’s a tiny rock between Sicily and North Africa, but don’t let the size fool you—this place punches way above its weight class.
The best way to describe Malta? Imagine if Italy and the Middle East had a baby, and that baby was raised by the British. You’ll drive on the left side of the road (British) past a Catholic cathedral (Italian) to go eat a pastry that tastes as if it came straight from a souk in Morocco (Arabic).
