<font color="red">The Maltese islands, situated in the Central Mediterranean 100km from Sicily and 290km from North Africa, consist of Malta (390 square km), Gozo (65) and Comino (2.5). The 380,000 islanders, who have their origins to before 4000 BC, owe their faith to the Apostel Paul who was shipwracked at Malta in AD 60; their language, basically Semitic with a sprinkling of Romance, to the Arabs who ruled them for 220 years; their culture to the Knights of St. John who stayed for 268 years; and their deep sense of democracy to 164 years of British connection. The islands became independent in 1964 and a republic in 1974.</font>

Hi Kristina, I enjoyed your Malta Tips. Ifirst heard of Malta as a child in Sunday School. I also once dated a woman from there and have always thought I would like to visit. It's on our list. Thanks for visiting our San Francisco pages. Stephen and Karen

Usually my thoughts on Malta are about its history but most of the VT pages here ignore it in favor of modern things. I like these pictures and tips very much.
