Malta

The small island nation between Sicily and Tunisia offers perfect weather for hiking and cycling in spring, autumn and winter. The bathing water is said to be the warmest in the Mediterranean and attracts with its turquoise shades - really nice after a few hours of activity! The environment is genuine and beautiful, especially on Malta's dramatic west coast and rural sister island Gozo, the hiker's paradise. The history is fascinating and besides the Phoenicians, Romans and Arabs, the Knights Templar and the English have left their mark on the country's fascinating mixed culture and beautiful cities. An exciting and sun-safe destination with excellent trails.
