Malta is not a destination for long-distance sailing. Nowhere else in the Mediterranean are spectacular natural landscapes, historic harbours and modern marinas so close together as on this small archipelago between Sicily and North Africa.
At the same time, the area requires a willingness to compromise: sheltered anchorages are scarce around Malta, marinas are often expensive, and in the high season, sailors have to share the most beautiful bays with excursion boats and day trippers.
In our three-part travel feature, we showcase the country from a variety of perspectives: from the glamorous marinas and bays of the north coast, through the natural scenery around Comino and the west coast, to the historic heart of Valletta. The series is complemented by a detailed guide containing all the essential information you need to plan your sailing trip.
