Malta and the sister Islands Gozo and Comino

Malta is stunning in its beauty. Its charm lies in rocky coves, bays, cliffs and a few sandy beaches. The landscape of Malta, and Gozo too, is dominated by limestone deposits. The limestone is quarried and used in construction, giving the urban landscape a rich, honey-coloured hue. Gozo is significantly greener than Malta. The island is less developed too, providing an air of tranquillity.  Its most notable physical features are its hills. They are distinct landmarks, visible from miles away and providing superb sea views.
