Malta, a tiny hidden gem of the Mediterranean Sea you need to visit

in #travel7 years ago

Covering an area of just about 120 square miles, Malta, one of the world’s smallest countries, is an archipelago comprising of seven islands located in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea.

Yet, despite its miniature size, Malta boasts of enormous amount of both natural and historical sites which makes it one of the prime tourist destinations in Europe.

I spent six months in this wonderful place and here are some photos I took there.
