Introducing Malta
Consisting of five islands in the Mediterranean sea, the country of Malta lies 93 kilometers south of Sicily and about 290 kilometers north of both Libya and Tunisia. The archipelago has been home to a number of civilizations over the centuries, including the Phoenicians, Romans, and Greeks, and became a maritime power during the 16th century while under the rule of the Hospitallers (Knights of Malta). Valetta, the nation’s capital, is on the largest island, which is also called Malta. Valetta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is known for its Baroque architecture as well as its cathedrals, fortifications, and museums. The pristine bays, golden beaches, and dive spots, particularly on the islands of Malta, Gozo, and Comino, attract nature lovers and beachgoers, while cultural festivals and street celebrations throughout the summer add to a bright atmosphere. Fares and schedules for flights to Malta may vary according to the season.
Turkish Airlines operates flights to Malta International Airport from Istanbul Airport (IST). Malta flights last approximately two hours and 40 minutes.
