Malta has followed recent social demands and trends by offering health conscious visitors the chance to continue their passion while away from home. So it’s now possible to indulge in the best inter-continental, ethnic or traditional foods, then quickly burn off those excess calories before you grudgingly take the trip back home.
At times, Malta is a windsurfer's dream. The small size of the island means that when you can't find ideal winds at one place, you can hop back in the car and be on the other side of the island in a matter of minutes.
People often want to do different things when they are away on holiday. Things they would not normally do in the humdrum of everyday life back home. Things like parachuting and bungee-jumping! But what if you’re afraid of heights? Well, there are always the safer options of water-skiing and coastal diving. But what if you’re afraid of depths too!
There’s something magnetic about a TV screen. Wander into a bar or any room that has a TV switched on and you’ll find yourself unable to take you’re your eyes off it. There could be any old guff is on there but you still watch. And the only thing that comes close to having the draw of a TV is a fish tank … because there’s something fascinating about fish!
It was Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond, who said: “A horse is dangerous at both ends and uncomfortable in the middle.” But for those of you who do not subscribe to this point of view and love nothing more than a little equine exercise, then there are ample opportunities to leap astride a trusty steed in Malta.
Sometimes in life when faced with things of extreme beauty you seek consolation by imagining they surely must come with some flaws. It’s a bit like thinking Brad Pitt must have smelly feet or that Scarlett Johansson farts in bed. By the same token other islands must look at Malta and say: “OK you’ve got it going on but what’s hidden beneath those crystal clear azure waters?”
Most Maltese start swimming at a very early age, often being the unsuspecting victims of a proud father's sudden impulse to push them into the water and then jovially expect them to float.
To many generally sane people, the thought of running around the streets for a distance exceeding 26 miles is as preposterous as, well … being asked to run around the streets for 25 miles. The question is: “Why would I want to do that when there are modern inventions like cars, taxis, buses … even a bike?”
Things To Do & Try in Malta
There’s no end to the list of things you can try your hand at on Malta.

The Mediterranean is a major blessing for Malta as it provides a monster-sized leisure and activity centre right on everyone’s doorstep. There are countless activities to be done on top of the water but in this case we’re concentrating on what’s below the surface. Specifically – fish! READ MORE
Think Malta and you almost immediately think sea! Think sea and you think of fun. And there’s not much more fun to be had on the sea than by lashing a pair of planks to your feet and being dragged along the surface of the water behind a speedboat, or waterskiing, as I believe it’s more commonly known.
