Malta or the Maltese Islands project a scene that seems positively mythic such as that with Calypso's Cave, medieval dungeons and megaliths. It also showcases villages and towns with narrow meandering streets, Baroque palaces and Renaissance cathedrals. In fact, this popular vacation spot is already considered an "open air museum". The more tourists visit Malta and the other islands of the Maltese archipelago for its rich landscape, historic sites and cultural scene, more affordable as well as cheap Malta hotels have started to surface throughout the years.

Malta is not only the largest island; it is also the administrative, commercial and cultural center of the archipelago. As for the second largest island, Gozo, it is more rural and it is characterized by tourism, fishing, agriculture and crafts. The 3rd island, Comino, is actually uninhabited. Nevertheless, with its seven thousand years of history, expansive beaches, sunny weather and thriving nightlife, there is so much to see and do in Malta. A place called Hypogeum is even included as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Yet, it is actually the long relationship between these Islanders and the other nationalities occupying Malta throughout the centuries that created a marriage of traditions as well as styles - giving even the other Islands an interesting eclectic culture.
