Having a history which extends back to prehistoric times, Mellieha is a village which attracts religious people, history scholars, countryside enthusiasts, as well as fun-loving people who just want to relax and enjoy the beautiful beach of Ghadira. Listed by the European Union as a "European Destination of Excellence", Mellieha truly deserves a visit. Mellieha was always a remote village, cut off from the rest of the island. In fact, up to the British period the nearest large locality would have been Mosta, a town situated in the central part of the island. According to the scanty records available, Mellieha was not much populated in the 1400s, mainly because of corsair raids and fear of attacks. In spite of this people were still attracted to the area due to its fertile land.AX Hotels Malta]]> Victoria Hotel]]> Palazzo Capua]]> The Palace]]> Seashells Resort at Suncrest]]> hotel in Sliema]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Mellieha-And-Its-Sanctuary-/3100074 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 06:04:54 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Mellieha-And-Its-Sanctuary-/3100074 Summer is drawing to a close and this autumn, Hays Travel have plenty of cheap holidays for sale.

Just recently for example new figures have shown that since the civil protests against the Greek austerity measures being introduced by their government to try and solve their debt crises, bookings for Greek islands like Corfu and Crete have fallen 15% compared to the same time a year ago. And it's not just Greece where domestic events have turned away holidaymakers - Turkey has become a holiday favourite recently as prices have been low - but so far this year the number of bookings has gone decidely downwards. Part of this is down to prices. Turkey benefitted from being deemed among the new low cost destinations for a family holiday - but last year as a Post Office Travel Services survey showed, prices have been rising while Spain and Portugal had dropped theirs. Is it the economy that has seen Turkey experiencing a drop in bookings?Greece]]> Greek Islands]]> Malta]]> Corfu]]> Crete]]> civil unrest]]> debt crises]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/How-World-Events-Can-Change-Travel-Trends/2648374 Tue, 05 Jul 2011 14:18:10 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/How-World-Events-Can-Change-Travel-Trends/2648374 This last winter the UK experienced her coldest December for decades and it resulted in a rush for holidays for warmer climes, with the Mediterranean island of Malta getting a good number of bookings for January and February, along with more advanced bookings for the summer than the previous two years. It was welcome news for the island which has seen in common with other destinations a slow down of tourist arrivals since the economic crisis started in 2008. Despite the economic outlook for the UK being for slow growth in 2011, and there still being uncertainty over job security in the public sector especially, the weather was bad enough for many to throw caution to the wind and investigate the costs of a Malta holiday in the coming months. And they might be surprised at just how reasonable it can be, and just why so many UK tourists return to the island time and again.weather]]> climate]]> environment]]> tourism]]> Malta]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/British-Isles-Gloom-Is-Maltese-Delight/2502500 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 03:15:28 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/British-Isles-Gloom-Is-Maltese-Delight/2502500 Purchasing or renting property in a foreign country can be a tedious and time-consuming process. With the help of a local real estate agent however, there is no reason for this to happen. Malta offers a good number of agents from large, well-established Real Estate Agents to one-man entities. No matter of your choice, these can guide you on the smoothest and fastest route to take, whilst also acting as your intermediaries with related third parties. Obviously the longer established and larger companies are in a better position to offer a wider choice of properties and possibly more professional advice. In the meantime here are some useful facts and information to give you a better idea of the property market in Malta and how to go about it. Rentals Over the last few years Malta has seen a big increase in the demand for property rentals. Seeing such investment potential, many have invested in such buy-to-let properties and Malta now boasts of a very good selection of property available to let on long and short term. Rental rates vary depending on location, type of property, standard of furnishings and length of tenancy.malta luxury real estate]]> malta luxury properties]]> malta home]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Property-In-Malta-----A-Quick-Guide/2502411 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 03:02:51 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Property-In-Malta-----A-Quick-Guide/2502411 It is very exciting to plan for a holiday especially in another country, and being accompanied by your loved ones is even better. Sometimes, deciding where to go on holiday may create a bit of a headache especially when considering the places one can visit and the various types of holiday one may go for, according to taste, party size and budget. Visiting Malta for a week or two is surely a good choice for all kind of travellers because this small island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea offers something for everyone: beaches, sun, beautiful country side, entertainment, shopping and historical sites above others. As everywhere else, finding a holiday accommodation can be a real task in itself. Needless to say, choosing the right accommodation of where to stay during your holiday is an important decision. In Malta there are varieties of options where to stay during your holiday such as hotels, guesthouses and self-catering units (apartments, villas and farmhouses).

Part of this is down to prices. Turkey benefitted from being deemed among the new low cost destinations for a family holiday - but last year as a Post Office Travel Services survey showed, prices have been rising while Spain and Portugal had dropped theirs. Is it the economy that has seen Turkey experiencing a drop in bookings? Given the number of job losses in the UK's public sector which employs six million people and nervousness about future prospects for many it could be a factor, but doesn't explain why bookings for Malta holidays for example haven't had similar drop. But the reason why bookings are down more for Turkey than destinations like Malta is more likely to be down to politics, and what is happening in the world, coupled with Turkey's geographical location.Turkey]]> Malta]]> Sliema]]> Middle East]]> Valletta]]> Turkish holidays]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Conflicts-Hit-Turkish-Holidays-Bookings/2316868 Tue, 19 Apr 2011 03:11:47 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Conflicts-Hit-Turkish-Holidays-Bookings/2316868 The last twelve months has been overall disappointing for the hotels industry - after years of increased occupancy they have been hit by the recession that has caused business people and families to cut back on their overseas trips. Business travel to Malta has been particularly harsh on the island's hotels - the number of business people visiting the island in June for example was a third down on the same month a year earlier. And although the drop hasn't been as big for the number of tourists taking holidays in Malta immediately after the banking crises, it has still been a significant fall which has further impacted the occupancy rates for the Malta hotels. But some hotels in Malta are responding to the drop in their occupancy rates by adapting their traditional ways of operating. In the past hotels have either received direct bookings, often from the business sector, and in recent years via travel companies like expedia, and taken block bookings from tour operators across Europe who have then packaged accommodation and flights for holidays in Malta for tourists.cheap family holidays]]> Malta hotels]]> hotel reviews]]> Malta]]> domain names]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Malta-Hotels---Moving-With-The-Times/2287345 Tue, 12 Apr 2011 03:06:30 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Malta-Hotels---Moving-With-The-Times/2287345 People in Northern Ireland who enjoy their sunshine holidays have been given the opportunity of low cost flights to one of Europe's top destinations this year, with the launch of easyJet's service to the popular Mediterranean island of Malta. The new cheap flights to Malta will fly twice a week, on Tuesdays departing Belfast at 14.50 local time with the same departure time on Saturdays. An easyJet spokesman told a Northern Ireland newspaper: 'We're delighted to be launching this new route to Malta, which is a popular destination for leisure and business travellers, and strengthens easyJet's existing destinations from Northern Ireland,' and added 'The island has a rich history that is evident in its stunning architecture. For today's visitors, there is also the obvious attraction of clear blue waters and dry, warm summers.' The attractions of holidays in Malta should ensure the new route is a success, and the airline helped pioneer cheap flights to Malta a few years ago after Ryanair became the first low cost carrier to offer routes from the UK and Ireland to the island, helping to revive the tourist industry.Belfast]]> cheap flights]]> easyJet]]> Malta]]> budget airlines]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/New-Malta-Route-For-Irish-Holidaymakers/2257675 Tue, 05 Apr 2011 03:09:12 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/New-Malta-Route-For-Irish-Holidaymakers/2257675 Britain experienced her coldest December for decades and it resulted in a rush for holidays for warmer climes, with the Mediterranean island of Malta getting a good number of bookings for January and February, along with more advanced bookings for the summer than the previous two years.

Malta is one of the world's smallest and most densely populated countries with around 420,000 people in an area less than 200 square miles. The two official spoken and written languages are Maltese and English. Catholicism is the official and dominant religion. Mellieha, St. Paul's Bay, St. Julian's and Valletta are historically four of the most popular Maltese holiday destinations. Projections for 2011 look very promising for these areas. Each of these towns brings a unique appeal to Malta as a whole. Nearly every resort on Malta has a reputation of excellence. Mellieha The large village of Mellieha is located in the northwestern part of Malta; it is home to about 7,500 people. It is a very popular holiday destination during the summer months. Mellieha received the 2009 European Destination of Excellence title. The 1980 film Popeye was filmed in Mellieha and the fictional town of Sweethaven still stands today.
