Malta Honeymoon

If your goal is to avoid tourist hotspots but still immerse yourselves in the charm and history of a European destination, consider a honeymoon in Malta! Experience the best of this archipelago, learning about its complex history and coming away with a new appreciation for a destination that is often overlooked. Here you can expect prehistoric temples, fossil-studded cliffs, hidden coves along the dramatic shoreline, and a remarkably intense history—a honeymoon in Malta is nothing short of a kaleidoscope of cultural experiences.

Malta’s earliest known history begins around 5,200 BCE, when farmers migrated from Sicily. Many of Malta’s grand temples were built during the Stone Age, then the area was taken over by the Phoenicians, the Romans, the Arabs, the Aragonese from Spain, and others, each of whom left a mark on the island nation. Because of a multitude of cultural influences, Malta is a unique and diverse destination you’ll have to see to believe. Plus, since Sicily is the closest land mass, why not stop by the Italian islands before your honeymoon in Malta?
