Malta
Mediterranean sun, a crystal-clear
sea and an all-pervading sense of history. Malta offers eve-rything you could
wish for in a holiday, an amalgam of discovery, new experiences and re-laxation
– and all packed into a tiny island. A landscape of stubborn, stark beauty threaded
with terraced fields, a romantic shore-line of small harbours dotted with brightly-painted
fish-ing boats, eye-catching villages and a rich heritage of history, art and
culture. Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, the Knights of Malta and the British have
all left their marks and shaped the face of Malta. The Maltese archipelago covers
no more than a total of 316 km². Malta, the main island, is 27 km long and 15
km wide. The tiny group of islands lies almost exactly in the centre of the Mediterranean
between the south coast of Europe and the north coast of Africa. This central
position at the Mediterranean Sea’s narrowest point, controlling the passage between
the western and eastern Mediterranean basins, gave Malta a key strategic significance
throughout the centuries. Typical of Malta’s coast-line are the deep bays forming
outstanding natural har-bours or flat, sandy beaches. The coast falls from southwest
to northwest, sometimes dropping into the sea with sheer, dramatic cliffs; elsewhere
the coast is marked by low, craggy rock formations. A landscape of gently rolling
hills, never more than 100m high, stretches across the east of the island, turning
in the west along a clearly visible fault scarp, into an austere, inclined, tertiary
limestone Karst plateau, the inclination producing the highest points on Malta’s
west coast. | |

| Wind
and Weather | Frequent,
often quite firm storms are typical of Malta. The Majjistral as the Malteses call
the winds coming from northwesterly direction is cool, however, this one soothes
unbearably heat at strong solar radiation otherwise. This one from the Sahara
blowing Xlokk makes himself replete strongly particularly in autumn over the great
Syrte with water: The muggy, sultry climate which he brings with himself is afraid
because of his effect "paralyzing".
The strong, cold Grigal blows
into the Win-termonaten from a northeasterly direction. These storms are also
the reason for the vegetation poor and very meagre view of the island. |
