Lonely Planet writer Brett Atkinson Malta explains why she loves Malta & Gozo. "Malta is the Mediterranean's most surprising destination. I love exploring the Knights of St John's improbable historic fortress of Valletta, but also discovering the city's cosmopolitan restaurants, bars and galleries. Malta's coastline conceals coves perfect for swimming, and after an afternoon at the beach I look forward to meals packed with the influence of Malta's history and geography. Across on Gozo, massive churches rise from sun-caressed landscapes, and I like hiking clifftop paths past historical monuments to concealed bays. All this and more, an easy day trip from anywhere in the country."
