Where is Malta?
The Maltese Islands
are situated right in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea
just under the southern tip of Sicily. The archipelago is made up of mainland
Malta, Gozo,
Comino, and
cominotto. A smaller uninhabited island of Filfla is also part of the Maltes
Islands, which is about 5Kmoff the southern coast. All together the islands make
up a mere 316sq km. Malta is the largest island only 27KM at its longest point
from the northwest to southeast, and 14.5km at its widest point, from west to
east
To get to Gozo you take a 30 minute ferry trip from Malta's northernmost tip, during which you sail past Comino with its glorious Blue Lagoon, just visible through a narrow entrance in the rock coastline. Alternatively you can take the Helicopter Transfer service from Malta International Airport, a trip which normally takes 10 to 15 minutes.
