Discover Malta Airport by Hire Car

The island of Malta, together with its neighbouring island of Gozo, forms the state of Malta. A trip there is like a journey to an Arabic-like world, yet located within Europe.

The Maltese language, which is a Semitic language written with Latin letters, contributes in no small part to this impression.

Fear of communication problems is nevertheless unfounded; almost every Maltese resident also speaks English or Italian.
