Malta - Unravel Travel TV
Jane Wilson visited Valletta and Mdina in Malta and then travelled by boat to the sister island of Gozo. During her visit she followed historical trails, discovered cultural treasures, strolled around the silent walled city of Mdina and journeyed to the island of joy to explore many of the attractions that this destination has to offer.
The Maltese archipelago lies virtually in the centre of the Mediterranean, Malta has many UNESCO World Heritage sites, medieval churches and galleries as well as outdoor activities such as water sports, climbing and cycling, and combined with year-round good weather, attractive beaches, a thriving nightlife and a 7,000 year-old history, they have something to suit every traveller.
Valletta, The Fortress City, is the capital city and the administrative and commercial heart of the Islands. It was named after its founder, the Grand Master of the Order of St. John, Jean Parisot de la Valette. The city two is surrounded by two deep harbours, protecting its impressive bastions, forts and cathedral.
While strolling around Valletta you'll come across historical sites around every corner: votive statues, niches, fountains and coats of arms high up on parapets. The many narrow side streets are full of tiny quaint shops and cafés, while accommodating some of Europe's finest art works, churches and palaces, while the main streets are lined with branded shops, great for shopping and browsing. Valletta is a modern city built by the Knights of St John; a masterpiece of the Baroque; it is also a European Art City and a World Heritage City.
With a history dating back more than 4000 years,and with lamps lit by night, Mdina is known as the silent city and a key place to visit when coming to Malta. As well as its cultural and religious treasures, it exudes a timeless atmosphere and a perfect example of a European ancient walled city built with a mix of medieval and baroque architecture. According to tradition it was here that in 60 A.D. the Apostle St. Paul is said to have lived after being shipwrecked on the Islands. It is also said that St. Paul lived inside the grotto known as Fuori le Mura (meaning outside the city walls) today known as St. Paul's Grotto in Rabat.
Meaning the island of joy Gozo is the second largest island of the Maltese Archipelago. These include Gozo, Comino and mainland Malta. Gozo is hilly and from the south-west to the north-west, the coast is entirely surrounded by cliffs. It is very rural with fishing being the heart of the island's culture so fish restaurants offer the freshest fish dishes with an authentic manner and backdrop. As you travel around the island, you will find agricultural produce such as grapes, figs, potatoes, tangerines, melons oranges and tomatoes growing, amongst others. Due to geological formations, the hills of Gozo are curiously rounded and flat-topped, with the highest point on the island rising 190 metres above sea level which is TacDbiegi Hill on the outskirts of the village of San Lawrenz. The southern part of the island facing Malta, is low lying, but it rises near the coast and forms the vertical cliffs of Ta cenc. Gozo is renowned for its cottage industries, such as sweaters and jackets made from the wool of sheep and goats to the art of spinning and weaving.
The Maltese islands are also perfect for weddings and honeymoons with many hotels offering special packages and ideal facilities.

#naturephotography #travel Photography at Dingli Cliffs, Malta
If you are looking for an enjoyable walk or a quite spot for relaxation, Diungli Cliffs is the perfect place for you. Offering breath taking views particularly attractive during sunset time, especially in the calm summer days.
Dingli Cliffs are located off the village of Dingli, on Malta’s Western coast. They stage the highest point of the Maltese Islands at around 253 metres above sea-level. The cliffs propose a majestic sight, the views are breathtaking, overlooking the small terraced fields below, the open sea, and Filfla, the small uninhabited island just across. The cliffs can be seen as natural forts, since no attacker can approach the island from the West given their impressive height.
A small chapel dedicated to St. Mary Madgalene marks the highest point on the Maltese Islands. Built in 1646 on the site of an earlier one which had existed since the 15th century.
