The perfect union of Mediterranean climate, tourist offer and cultural events in the most important cities of the archipelago are the ingredients of a relaxing but also active holiday in Malta.
If you are fascinated by local culture, you can explore the uses and customs of the past by visiting the cities rich in millenary history, from the capital Valletta to the "silent city" Mdina, from the Roman Rabat to the 3 cities Vittoriosa, Senglea and Cospicua, and your holiday is transformed into a real journey between distant eras and different cultures.
In Malta, relaxation passes mainly through the beautiful beaches overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, quiet sandy or rocky stretches where you can relax in the sun and isolate yourself from the stressful daily routine, immerse yourself in the blue waters and experience exciting sports activities such as swimming, diving, and sailing.
If the beaches are not the only priority of your autumn holiday, in September the archipelago of the Knights reserves numerous appointments for all tastes. To begin with, the 17 will be staged A Night in Casal Fornaro, a festival that celebrates traditions, customs, music, food and, above all, the Maltese bakery for which this country is still known. During this event, which has now become a pillar of the annual cultural calendar, thousands of people gather in Qormi, a city renowned as the center of breadmaking since the time of the Knights of St. John.
The celebration of Maltese gastronomic excellence continues the next weekend with the Zejt Iz-Zejtun, undoubtedly one of the most popular events from locals and tourists. In this ancient village located in the southern part of Malta, the olive harvest season is celebrated with a large festival characterized by various kinds of events, theatrical performances, handicraft exhibitions and other activities managed by local families. A unique opportunity to know closely, taste and buy the best oils and products related to the production of olives.
