Malta Culture, Geography and History

Geography and Environment of Malta

Malta’s largest island (which goes by the same name) consists of low-lying, hilly and mostly arid terrain covered by terraced fields and bounded by a rugged coastline of coves, harbours and beaches. Gozo is noticeably greener and more densely vegetated, with craggy cliffs and flat-topped hills.
