Malta

Many areas in Malta are reminiscent of the Middle Ages. Here in Mdina, you can experience a city with a moat and castle gate as an entrance. This city was also chosen as the location for the Games of Thrones filming. I’ve been looking for known sites and think I’ve spotted some.

From the roof of the Hotel The Palace in Malta, you have a spacious view over the island. It is lovely to go swimming in the pool in the evening and enjoy the view. Then you like to sit on a chair and order an Averna with ice and lemon.

Sometimes unbelievable what the sun can do. In Malta, the whole Mediterranean Sea gets dipped in red light; you can feel the warmth of the sun. No land or mountains interrupt the horizon; the next island Sicily is hundreds of miles away. The photo was shot from the outdoor deck of the Palace Hotel.

Nature is always good for surprises, like this passage between two sea tongues in Malta. The area is ideal for swimming and snorkeling and offers spectacular rock walls that rise up next to the sea. It is the south-eastern part of Malta.

Medieval buildings by the sea, that’s what makes Valletta so unique. Many residents love to leisurely cruise the coast in small boats and marvel at the old buildings.

Is it on the Mediterranean Sea or the flat island? The sunsets in Malta bathe the whole sky in a pleasant yellow-orange color. There is also warm evening air. Thousands of houses presented across Sliema are dipped into the play of colors.

At times my hotel was happily chosen for the business trip to Malta. The “Palace Hotel” offers a rooftop pool with panoramic views of Malta and the Mediterranean. Especially at sunset you can see the soft colors and feel the pleasant warmth of the sun.

On the main island of Malta, you only have sandy beaches in the North. The highly populated cities like Valetta or Sliema offer only rocks for entry into the sea. Often you have ladders from iron and stone for a safe entry. No problem for me, it looks more wild and romantic with the jagged rocks.
