Malta

Seven thousand years in a harbour.

CultureHistoryDivingFamilyShort Break

Malta packs seven thousand years into a harbour you can walk around before lunch: megalithic temples older than the pyramids, the honey-stone capital the Knights built, and lagoons so blue they look colour-graded. English is an official language, which makes everything effortless.

It suits short breaks beautifully — three or four days covers Valletta, the silent city of Mdina and a boat day to Comino — while divers, history-lovers and families can happily stretch a week. Shoulder seasons are the sweet spot; even winter stays gently warm.
