Marco Polo Malta & Gozo: the Travel Guide with Insider Tips

Fully revised and updated for 2016. Now with new Discovery Tours chapter.

Experience all of Malta and Gozo's attractions with this up-to-date, authoritative guide, packed with Insider Tips. Most holidaymakers want to have fun and feel relaxed from the moment they arrive at their holiday destination - that's what Marco Polo Guides are all about. You'll discover fabulous hotels, restaurants, trendy places, the best night life, plus shopping tips, suggestions for those on a tight budget and tips for travel with kids. Also contains: the Perfect Route, Festivals & Events, Travel Tips, Links, Blogs, Apps & more and a comprehensive index.

Because Malta is a relatively small and intimate destination, a week is all you need to experience all its variety: megalithic temples, medieval cities, baroque churches and peaceful villages. You can dive, windsurf, swim and play golf, or just simply sun yourself on the rocks. MARCO POLO Malta and Gozo takes you to see some of the world's oldest stone structures, some amazing dive sites, delightful bays and fishing ports such as Marsaxlokk. There's a huge choice of active pursuits, from underwater adventures to fantastic coastal rock climbing, listed in the Sports & Activities chapter, and you can also find out What's Hot on this trendy party island. The Insider Tips reveal where you can eat really well and where Malta's stones come from. The Best Of pages highlight some unique aspects of the islands, recommend what to do for free, plus tips for rainy days and the best places to relax and unwind. The Trips & Tours chapter includes a walk across Gozo along the Victoria Lines. Finally, the Dos & Don'ts point out some of the things you need to be aware of and watch out for when visiting the islands, including the fact that nude bathing is, strictly speaking, illegal.

MARCO POLO Malta and Gozo provides comprehensive coverage of the islands. To help you get around there's a detailed road atlas inside, a useful folding map of Valletta in the backcover, plus a handy pull-out map. A must-have for all travellers, including those who haven't bought a travel guide in the past.

Review:

Wanderlust Magazine: You've got to applaud Marco Polo's chutzpah to launch 30 new city/island guidebooks into an already pretty crowded market. Aiming to occupy the middle ground between the context-heavy luggage fillers and the context-free thinner volumes, the main USPs of these user-friendly guides are the plentiful 'Insider tips' dotted around each edition, the maps they're packaged with, and the pocket cheering price (RRP �6.99 each). Complete with near-magazine style features, they're certainly a less intimidating proposition than some of the big wedges on offer. --Wanderlust Magazine
