Malta & Valetta
As Valletta was the Cultural City, it has lately taken a new dimension, with various boutique hotels sprouting everywhere, and also, it has many restaurants and bars dotted all over.
Those who have never visited Malta will find this Capital City quite interesting, and those who have already been to Malta, would surely find new things to discover on this island. Those who have a passion to dive, this would be a golden opportunity to set aside a few days to explore the beautiful sea surrounding Malta.
