Everything will seem very familiar in Malta, the language, the driving, the phone boxes, Malta was a British colony for 160 years. Malta has had a huge renaissance in the last 10 years since joining the EU, the island has been subjected to a complete overhaul and upgrade ensuring there are some excellent luxury hotels to choose from for your holiday. All the 300 or so small towns and villages across the islands have been tidied up, all have small parks and public areas which are spotlessly clean. Around Valletta and the Grand Harbour many of the Palaces have been renovated and open to the public even the classic K6 telephone boxes have been repainted in the correct shade of red - they were black for 20 years!! Finally the people - you will never find a kinder people anywhere, in the hotels, taxi drivers and just passers-by on the street, nothing is too much trouble for them, I guess its a close friendship between our nations for over 200 years has something to do with this!
