Malta: Where History Comes Alive

Malta, a small archipelago in the heart of the Mediterranean, hides a historical and cultural richness that rivals much larger countries. With megalithic temples older than the Egyptian pyramids, fortified medieval cities, and crystal-clear waters, Malta is a destination that surprises at every turn.

Valletta: Cultural Capital of Europe

Malta's capital, Valletta, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most history-concentrated cities in the world. Every street tells a story of knights, empires, and conquests.

With Encontrable you can explore the best establishments and points of interest in Malta, from traditional restaurants to unique experiences that tour guides don't mention.

Mdina: The Silent City

Known as the "Silent City", Mdina is the ancient capital of Malta. Its narrow streets and medieval architecture transport you to another era. It is especially magical at sunset when the walls turn golden.

Blue Grotto and Comino

Nature in Malta is spectacular. The Blue Grotto offers a color spectacle underwater, while the Blue Lagoon of Comino has some of the clearest waters in the Mediterranean.

Maltese Cuisine

Maltese cuisine fuses Italian, Arab, and British influences. Don't miss the pastizzi (ricotta pastries), rabbit stew (fenkata), and Maltese ftira bread with tomato and olive oil.
