The Maltese Islands are located at the centre of the Mediterranean, off southern Sicily. The climate is typical Mediterranean, with mild wet winters and hot dry summers. The islands are rich in culture and history, and there are a number of World Heritage Sites, including some of the oldest free standing Neolithic Temples.
