Being an island, Malta can only be reached either by airplane from major European airports or by ferry-boat from Italy or from Tunisia. Many European low cost airlines fly to Malta giving the chance of flying cheap to this amazing country. Traveling by sea to Malta is an awesome adventure and on a several days trip you can enjoy the beautiful Mediterranean Sea on a journey connecting Italy and the Malta archipelago.
Including Malta as a destination within another travel makes us profit from time and money. During my travel to Italy, I got a 8 Euros ticket with Ryanair on the Pisa – Malta itinerary. Search Ryanair website for seasonal offers and promotions.
