Malta named one of the top places to visit in 2016

Malta comes third in the list of '52 places to go in 2016', compiled by one of America's most popular newspapers.

Malta has been named one of the top destinations in the world to visit this year.

The New York Times heaps praise on Malta's mild weather, beautiful beaches and stunning architecture. 

The New York Times described Malta as 'an affordable Mediterranean playground with a superb climate, sublime beaches, megalithic temples and a distinctive crossroads culture'.

There are three inhabited islands to explore - Malta, home to buzzing Valletta, a Unesco World Heritage city of stunning limestone buildings; Gozo, more tranquil and with a dramatic coastline filled with great spots for diving; and idyllic, car-free Comino, home to the beautiful 'Blue Lagoon'.
