EasyJet flies from Gatwick, Manchester, Newcastle and Liverpool. Ryanair operates from Luton, Edinburgh, Bournemouth, Leeds Bradford and Bristol airports, while BMI baby flies from East Midlands airport. Malta is the largest island with a coastline

Malta’s sister island of Gozo is ideal for the discerning traveller and culture vulture who likes to explore and discover authentic lifestyles. Only a short ferry ride or sea plane flight away, the Island is much smaller, greener and quieter than mainland Malta. A wide array of accommodation is available on the Maltese islands, ranging from international renowned luxury five-star hotels and spas, private villas and boutique hotels to B&Bs and traditional converted farmhouses.
