Malta Favorite Tips by iwys

Rural Gozo

Favorite thing: One of the nicest things to do in Malta is walk in the countryside of Gozo. On the main island of Malta there really isn't much pretty countryside left, but on Gozo, where there has been considerably less urban development, there is. Only 30,000 people live on Gozo and many of them are farmers.

Maltese Windows

Favorite thing: You can see the strong influence of Arab architecture in Maltese buildings, especially the windows, which jut out into the narrow streets in order to catch the breeze during the hot summers. These are like the Arab mashrabia windows, except that they have panes of glass rather than wood latticework and shutters.
