Of all the stops we made, it was the one that surprised me the most. Had no idea what Malta was about first time we went. So glad we signed up for a tour that took us Mdina, the old capital, then walked over to Valleta and walked on those steps that were built the way to accomodate the Knights. We were sorry we only had a few hours to be there.
I believe Game of Thrones was filmed there for one of their seasons.
A few more DAYS would've been even BETTER.
