The Maltese islands have indeed been described as one big open-air museum, it is easy to delve into the islands mysterious prehistory, retrace the footsteps of St Paul or see where the Knights of St John defended Christendom. Visitors can explore medieval walled citadels and splendid baroque churches and palaces. However, history alone does not draw the annual summer influx of tourists, who manage to triple the population of Malta and Gozo. Visitors also come for the beautiful clear blue waters, secluded bays and sandy beaches, and also to glimpse the tranquil traditional villages that still speckle the landscape, celebrating lively fiestas.
