 Go to Malta
 Sunflower Landscapes of Malta, Gozo
by Douglas LockhartFrom the Sunflower Landscapes Guides series. Malta, Gozo and Comino attract hundreds of thousands of tourists each year, most of them from Britain, Italy, Germany and Scandinavia. Many are lured by the typical Mediterranean weather; others see Malta as a change from the Spanish 'Costas', while British ex-servicemen and their families, once stationed here, come back for a nostalgic look at how things have changed. Not everyone stays around the hotel pools or heads for the nearest beach and many people prefer touring or walking in the countryside. The Maltese landscape offers rich rewards for those who enjoy exploring: interests in ancient and modern history, military and ecclesiastical architecture, geology, and flora are all well catered for. If this will be your first visit to the Maltese Islands, sampling a few of our walks and tours will be a perfect introduction. This new 4th edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect changes that have taken place since the third edition was published. The best months for walking: March, April, May, June and October. Where to stay if you plan to walk: The author suggests staying in the north of the island, for example Mellieha or St Paul's Bay, because you will then have a wide choice of walks nearby, accessible with just a short bus journey. You'll also be conveniently located for the Gozo ferry. 7 car tours, 70 long and short walks, 30 picnic suggestions
