3 4

Despite Malta is only a relatively small island, and pretty populated, I have chosen to spend two weeks here. My main interest is nature, and there are small pockets to be found. While I'm here, I might as well have a glimpse of the more cultural and historical sights. A thorough look through Lonely Planets book gave the sights below.
The numbers refer to Lonely Planet 6. edition, 2016 and the map below.
