Malta, officially the Republic of Malta, is a Mediterranean island country consisting of five islands. The largest islands are Malta, Comino, and Gozo. Valletta is the capital. The majority of the population is of Maltese origin, and Maltese and English are the official languages. There are also British and Italian immigrants, but their numbers are relatively small. Malta operates under a parliamentary republic system and has a population of around 518,000. The official currency is the euro.
Malta's history dates back to the Neolithic Age, as excavations have uncovered ancient remains. The country's archaeological sites impress visitors from around the world. The Knights of St. John arrived in Malta after it was ruled by various civilizations like the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Eastern Romans, and Normans. This event is crucial in Malta's history. Initially, the knights protected Christian pilgrims but later expanded their influence by conquering non-Christian territories. Their settlement in Malta, following the conquest of Rhodes, greatly influenced the island's economic, cultural, and social development. Over time, Malta came under French and British rule. Today, British influence is particularly noticeable in various aspects of the island.
Malta is primarily flat and is bordered by scenic bays and beaches. The entire island experiences a mild Mediterranean climate, with winter temperatures averaging around 15 degrees Celsius and summer temperatures averaging around 32-33 degrees Celsius.
Tourism is a key driver of Malta's economy, accounting for almost all of the country's income. Malta is a top choice for students worldwide seeking English education, making a significant economic contribution. The country offers a lively entertainment scene, featuring traditional Maltese music called 'Ghana,' performed by male artists with guitars, attracting tourists as a cultural activity.
Malta is renowned for its warm and friendly people, and its diverse dining options are a highlight. Popular dishes include sardines, cuttlefish, and various vegetable-based salads. To beat the year-round hot weather, visitors can enjoy a variety of fruit-flavored ice creams.
