Malta, officially the Republic of Malta (Maltese: Repubblika ta' Malta), is a small and densely populated island nation comprising an archipelago of seven islands, three of which are inhabited. It is located in the Mediterranean Sea in Southern Europe just 58 mi south of Sicily, giving the country a warm, Mediterranean climate, and 179 mi to its south is North Africa. The nation's de facto capital city is the historic Valletta.

The climate is Mediterranean (Köppen climate classification Csa), with mild, rainy winters and hot, dry summers. There is no real thermal dormant season for plants, although plant growth can be checked briefly by abnormal cold in winter (patches of ground frost may occur in inland locales), and summer heat and aridity may cause vegetation to wilt.

Tourism infrastructure has increased dramatically over the years and a number of good-quality hotels are present on the island. An increasing number of Maltese now travel abroad on holiday. So there should be good villas and houses to rent buy or borrow for you stay in on your vacation.

Maltese cuisine is the result of a long relationship between the Islanders and the many foreigners who made Malta their home over the centuries. This marriage of tastes has given Malta an eclectic mix of Mediterranean cooking. While many dishes are native to the island, some popular Maltese recipes are Sicilian-Southern Italian or Middle Eastern in origin. Celebrated examples include ftira biz.-z.ejt, g.bejniet and pastizzi.
