"Where is that?" is a question I always get when I tell people we're visiting Malta. And, I can't blame them.Before we went for the first time years ago, my only reference was the Humphry Bogart movie "The MalteseFalcon." Turns out, Malta is a series of 3 inhabited islands in the Mediterranean, closer to Tunisia than Rome.
Malta's incredible history is front and center with prehistoric sites from 7,000 years ago to stone fortressesbuilt by the Knights of St. John. And, art lovers will be spoiled in St. John's co-cathedral where dozens ofmagnificent works hang including Caravaggio's masterpiece "The Beheading of St. John."
The food in Malta is a unique mashup of Middle Eastern (Imqaret), Italian (Pastizzi and Ftiria), and Maltese(Fenek). Deliciousness is around every corner, it seems.
