The secret of Malta's astounding prominence - in contrast to its minuscule physical attributes - in the history books is, as has often been emphasised by writers and military and naval analysts through the ages, its strategic position.
No war lord or super power with intentions of grandeur and expansion could afford to overlook the Island as it stands right there in the middle of some of the most important sea routes in the world. What was advantageous for the warring nations of history is the privilege of today's restless traveller, one who is likely to work from a base to visit other interesting places.
As the eternal springboard offering easy sea and air access to southern European and North African destinations, Malta has gradually been nurturing the concept of multi-destination holidays that readily squeeze in a mixture of cultures and histories as well as different environments and attractions. It is as easy, for example, to organise a 30-minute flight to nearby Sicily as it is to go on safari in the desert of Tunisia.
Malta enjoys comfortable proximity to the undiscovered archaeological treasures of Libya and the historical beauty of the Greek Islands. Basing oneself in Malta, it is also possible to pay flying visits to Turkey, the Balkans, Egypt, the chic beaches of southern France, the famous islands of Cyprus, Crete and Corsica, and so many other destinations. A whole region at your finger tips. A whole new concept of holiday-making that takes the humdrum out of travel and introduces a new sense of adventure.
Malta, unlike many other places which claim the same, really is a hub of modern day travel.
