The Republic of Malta is an archipelago of nine islands in the Mediterranean between North Africa and Sicily. Malta is the largest of the islands and holidays to Valletta, the capital, can be the highlight of any Malta stay. Think of narrow streets overlooking two harbours. Cheap flights to Valletta are available from most of the budget airlines, with easy access from UK regional airports. Flying time ranges from three to four hours, depending on your point of departure, but once you are at the airport, Valletta is only 5km away. To explore the island, it's best to take advantage of cheap Valletta car hire.
Location wise, it's hard to go wrong in Valletta, because you're never that far from anything. Many of the hotels retain the architectural splendour of times gone by, most notably in the Baroque style. There are affordable places to stay, depending on your requirements. For example, you can find some 2* hotels with amazing views over the Grand Harbour. Cheap holidays in Valletta do not always mean compromising on quality if you do your homework.
This UNESCO-listed capital is a paradise for scenic views and a real sense of going back in time. Valletta holidays should include a trip to Paradise Bay beach. See St. John's Cathedral, built in the 16th century and visit an authentic historic home at Casa Rocca Piccola. You should also make time for the Church of St Paul's Shipwreck, an important historic and religious site on the island. Or, simply relax and dine on the Valetta Waterfront.
