Tailor-Made Malta Holidays with MultiWander – Discover the Heart of the Mediterranean
From where can I start my multi‑center Malta holiday?
You can start your Malta journey from any airport that suits you – we make it completely flexible!
MultiWander offers tailor‑made packages with flights from all major airports. Whether you’re departing from London, Manchester, Berlin, Rome, or any other city, we’ll arrange your ideal itinerary.
Most travelers fly directly into Malta International Airport (MLA), just a short drive from Valletta. From there, you can begin your adventure immediately or spend the first night relaxing before exploring the islands.
Is a road trip with a rental car recommended in Malta?
Yes, a road trip is an excellent way to explore Malta’s diverse landscapes at your own pace!
Despite the islands being compact, driving gives you the freedom to discover hidden coves, ancient temples, and picturesque villages that guided tours often miss. Starting from Valletta or the resort area of St. Julian’s is particularly convenient.
A classic Malta road trip itinerary might include the fortified capital, the silent city of Mdina, the cliffside views of Dingli, and the sandy beaches of Mellieħa Bay – all in one day. For a true multi‑center experience, we recommend splitting your stay between Malta and Gozo, using the short ferry crossing to continue your journey.
Can I combine Malta with other islands and countries?
Absolutely! Malta is the perfect hub for a multi‑center Mediterranean holiday.
You can easily combine the main island with its charming sister island Gozo – just a 25‑minute ferry ride away – for a relaxed, rural contrast to Malta’s historic cities.
For a wider adventure, Malta’s excellent flight connections make it simple to pair your stay with Cyprus (frequent flights to Larnaca) or with Sicily (short flights to Catania or Palermo). A wonderful combination is spending a few days in Valletta, then flying to Catania to explore Mount Etna and the Sicilian coastline. With MultiWander, we create seamless multi‑island and multi‑country packages that let you experience the best of the Mediterranean in one unforgettable trip.
