Malta

Malta, nestled in the heart of the Mediterranean, is a fascinating fusion of history, coastal beauty, and modern charm. Valletta, the capital, is a UNESCO World Heritage site adorned with honey-coloured limestone buildings, narrow cobblestone streets, and baroque architecture. From the lively fish markets of Marsaxlokk to the silent city of Mdina, every corner of Malta whispers stories of knights, traders, and empires past. Beyond its historical richness, Malta is increasingly welcoming for plant-based travellers with creative vegan cafés, sustainable eateries, and a laid-back lifestyle that suits slow travel.

Walking through the golden-hued streets of Valletta felt like stepping into a film set – each corner offered a postcard-worthy photo opportunity. The vibrant energy of the waterfront mixed beautifully with the calm of the upper gardens. The fresh pastries and creative vegan menus in quirky cafés were delightful. Marsaxlokk was bustling with the colours of fishing boats and local life, while the visit to Blue Grotto revealed mesmerising shades of blue. Mdina’s silence was meditative, and dining with views over the island was the perfect way to unwind.
