VISITMALTA
Malta and its sister islands Gozo and Comino, an archipelago in the Mediterranean, boast a remarkable 9,000 years of history, including 3 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Malta has now become a world-class destination with luxury hotels, Michelin-star restaurants, wineries, a year-round calendar of festivals and events, beautiful beaches, water sports and diving. Jewish travelers will also find a fascinating Jewish history and heritage on the Maltese Islands that first dates back to the Phoenician period, approximately 900 BCE, and to the 4th and 5th centuries BCE during the Roman period. Evidence includes Jewish catacombs, a slave cemetery, street names and historical sites as well as links to Kabbalism. Although Jews once populated Malta in great numbers, today there is a small but vibrant community, estimated to be about 400, of which about 100 are local and 300 expats.
