Random Walks - Malta
Overview |
Itinerary Description |
Malta is one of the must-see places in Europe to visit! The small island is a place where the people take pride in their rich history and diverse culture which is a delightful mix of Arabic and Italian. It is located right in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea and the South of Sicily, Italy. On this program you will experience a mixture of cultural visits in some of the oldest cities to include Valletta, Mdina, and Gozo and enjoy days on the water exploring various locations like VIPs and the iconic Blue Lagoon. Just when you thought nothing could be hotter than the days in Malta, we assure you that the nights have a level of intensity that can’t be matched! |
