Updated throughout, this new edition delves into Malta's temples and archaeology more comprehensively than any other guidebook. Packed with historical and archaeological facts it also showcases bird-watching and wildlife opportunities, summer festas, and the less commercialised islands of Gozo and Comino. Malta has long been known for package holidays but this island nation has 7,000 years of fascinating and visible history. With new hotels opening across the islands the guide includes greater coverage of accommodation and restaurants. There is more to the island than sun and sea and this guide Bradt Travel Guide: Malta & Gozo will help readers to discover the Malta beyond the tourist resorts.
