Sometimes dreams come true. I still remember how much I longed for the beach and the sea two months ago. Crazy, right? At least we have summer! But a short time later, the invitation to a blogger trip to Malta landed in my mailbox. Malta has been on my travel bucket list for a long time and I finally had the opportunity to get a first impression of this diverse small island state. Paul's Islands and Fungus Rock.
It covers less than a square kilometer. Malta trip in summer: As a qualified translator and linguist, I am particularly fascinated by the Maltese language. Already on the plane I tried to decipher the roots of the language. Because when you hear Malti for the first time, it is not so easy to classify the language.
Maltese has its origins in an ancient Arabic dialect Maghrebi, Sicilian Arabic and is a Semitic language. She sounds like an interesting mix of Arabic, Italian, English and even French. Would you like to know how to order something or introduce yourself on Malti? Here's my little Maltese dictionary. Valletta may be the smallest capital in Europe, but visitors can look forward to a huge range of beautiful and unique sights in Malta's heart.
Best of all, since Valletta is so small in terms of area, it's ideal for exploring the city on foot. How about a walk through the Mediterranean Lower Barakka Garden with a wonderful view of Malta's harbour? Instagram tip: But also that Upper Barraka Garden invites you to no less beautiful views.
At the southern major port, the majestic Grand Harbour there is a very own dynamic atmosphere of departure and distance. If you want to see one of the most beautiful church buildings in the entire Mediterranean region, then you can see it St. John's Co-Cathedral not to be missed. Valletta has something very nostalgic about it. A walk in the enchanting little side streets is like traveling back in time to the 50's or 60's.
