Mast-see island

Malta is more popular than ever, so Amber O'Connor took a trip to see why
-

Looking down is never a good thing to do when you're standing on an elevated glass viewing platform - but it's an even worse idea while you're on top of the tallest building in Malta.
Thankfully, there's little downward temptation when you're looking out from the 397ft-tall Mercury Tower, captivated by the glittering Mediterranean Sea and the island's dramatic skyline.
And as more and more Brits are discovering - with searches here for Malta rising by 120% in 2025 - the archipelago boasts three UNESCO world heritage sites and more Blue Flag beaches than there are days in a week, meaning there's lots to explore.
And, of course, there's 300 days of sunshine to factor in too...
What to see
From the beautiful capital Valletta to the ancient city of Mdina, instantly recognisable to Game of Thrones fans, the island has something for everyone, as we found out on a five-day break via the new easyJet route from Southend airport.
Hands in the air
Our visit certainly got off to a flying start at Odyssey Malta, inside Mercury Tower. The 35-minute immersive experience culminates in a 5D flying theatre ride (£21 for adults). It's a great introduction to the island's rich history, and we couldn't wait to see the sights for ourselves when our feet were back on firm ground.
There were more thrills ahead when we arrived in Vittoriosa (Birgu) for a “Rolling Geeks” tour of Malta's historic fortified cities, also including Senglea (Isla), and Cospicua (Bormla). The Geeks were self-drive electric cars like golf buggies - much, much faster than walking the hills on foot and more fun too.
