Malta 'ideal' for family holidays

Families travelling on cheap ferries to Malta can look forward to exploring a variety of historical and cultural offerings during their holiday.

This is according to Alex Incorvaja, Malta Tourism Authority's UK and Ireland director, who said the Maltese islands are particularly accessible to British holidaymakers.

He explained that, in addition to receiving 300 days of sunshine a year, Malta has 7,000 years of history and culture that can be easily explored.

"The islands are so small and so convenient," he commented.

"Once you are on Malta you don't waste time travelling from A to B to get to archaeological remains."

Part of Malta's attraction, Mr Incorvaja went on to say, is that its home to three UNESCO World Heritage sites, including Valetta, the capital city.

Malta is situated in the Mediterranean Sea and is the smallest nation in the European Union with a population of just 350,000 people.

Ferries to Malta can be booked from Sicily (Catania and Palermo) and Italy (Civitavecchia and Genoa) with Grimaldi Lines.
