Gastronomy
Maltese cuisine is the result of a seven-thousand-year relationship with the many civilisations who have populated the Maltese islands. An impressive melting pot of cultures made of the Sicilians, Romans, Spanish and French have influenced the incredibly unique blend of Maltese cuisine. Due to its location at the heart of the Mediterranean, seafood has obviously become a staple in Maltese cooking. The year-round warm climate allows visitors to a gorgeous alfresco dining experience, feasting on an array of the freshest of seafood. Recently Malta has been gaining international recognition as an emerging wine region. Although, not producing enough wine to export, you must indulge in a glass of red, white or rosé wine whilst you visit, the delicious taste will draw you back time and time again.
Experience
Malta’s location at the heart of the sparkling Mediterranean, makes it a diving hotspot and was awarded second place in the ‘Best Diving Destination’ in the world category at the Diver Awards in 2018. Which is idyllic for snorkelling, kayaking and swimming; whilst its topographical island landscape motivates rock-climbing, horse riding and mountain-climbing. Making it a perfect destination for team building incentives!
While visiting Malta, you must explore seven thousand years’ worth of history. The islands’ scenery and architecture provide an impressive cultural experience to explore megaliths, medieval dungeons and ancient cities. Three UNESCO World Heritage Sites can be found on the Maltese Islands: the Megalithic Temples, Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum and the City of Valletta.
