Malta’s Many Surprises on the Island of Gozo

A Day in the Maltese Capital

David Bentley - Valetta

By David Bentley Recently, I was lucky enough to find myself on the beautiful Mediterranean island of Malta for work (hard life, right?) staying at the amazing Grand Hotel Excelsior. Whilst here, I used my downtime to explore the country’s capital, Valletta.
