Malta

Malta is a sovereign state in the Mediterranean Sea's central region, south of Sicily and east of Tunisia. It is a three-island archipelago comprising Malta, Gozo, and Comino. With influences from the Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Normans, Sicilians, Knights of St. John, French, and British, the country has a rich history and culture.

Malta's climate is Mediterranean, with moderate winters and scorching summers. In January, the average temperature is 57°F (14°C), whereas in August, the average temperature is 82°F (28°C). The country's geography is varied, with rough coastlines, sandy beaches, and rocky coves.

The country is well-known for its ancient treasures, such as the Megalithic Temples of Malta, among the world's oldest free-standing constructions. Malta is particularly famous for its celebrations, such as the Carnival of Malta and the Feast of St. Paul's Shipwreck.

Malta is a parliamentary republic with a single legislative chamber (the House of Representatives). President George Vella is the head of state, and Prime Minister Robert Abela is the head of government. Although it is the country that has the 5th smallest area in Europe, Malta is an excellent choice for those interested in history, culture, and natural beauty.
