Holidays to Malta Now Offered by Search Travel Online

London, UK (PRWeb) February 14, 2007 -- Holidays to Malta are becoming popular for British tourists with the most popular Spanish destinations being more swamped and Malta remaining a cheerful, relaxed and economical destination. Search Travel Online has added Malta to its existing product range primarily due to the new Ryanair route. The low cost flights have ultimately made Malta into an attractively priced holiday/city break destination and prices stand up well against Mainland Spain, Balearics and Canary Islands. You can stay at the 4 star All Inclusive Canifor Hotel in the resort of Qawra from £155 in February and from £189 in March and April*. At Search Travel Online we are excited about being able to offer this up and coming destination at such low prices.

Malta can offer everything from the humble bed and breakfast to 5* luxury resort hotels, one week all inclusive family package holidays to up market city breaks. All the major chains have a presence in Malta, Hilton Le Meridian and Westin to name but a few.

People are attracted to Malta holidays first and foremost by the weather, Malta has a superb climate, the sun shines almost all year round with temperatures reaching above 30 degrees in summer and rarely falling below 15 degrees in winter.

The Maltese Islands have at any one time been home to some of the most influential ancient cultures. This is visible all over Malta from ancient ruins, and cart ruts to Forts and Palaces; there is something to please everyone. The capital of Malta, Valletta, is a superb 16th-century fortified city with a magnificent harbour and a colourful nightlife. Mdina is a beautiful medieval fortress town and the smaller islands offer tranquillity. In Malta you can explore years of history yet enjoy modern amenities. In fact, the Maltese Islands have been described by some as one large open-air museum.

There is beautiful scenery and architecture wherever you go in Malta. Paceville is the hub of Malta's nightlife, with bars, discos and clubs, and really comes to life at the weekend. The area of Bugibba/Qawra also has bars and nightclubs aplenty. Various festivals liven up nightlife including the annual jazz festival in July. Malta has a couple of theme parks: Popeye Village, built for the 1980 film, at Anchor Bay; and Dinosaur Park at Ta'Qali.

One important factor about Malta is that the island is a very safe place to be, its crime rate is amongst the lowest in Europe. English is Malta's second language, which makes life easy for any traveler in a new country. There are a number of local dishes that are worth trying like fenkata (rabbit stew), Bragoli (beef stew in tomato sauce), Hobz biz-zejt (bread with oil and tomato) and if you have a sweet tooth, Helwa is a must!

Choosing a holiday to Malta will leave you with the taste for more, the way of life is very Mediterranean and the locals famously friendly and hospitable.
