Valletta, Malta’s compact, walkable capital , overlooks its magnificent Grand Harbor . (John McKenna/Alamy Stock Photo) A strategic location can be more curse than blessing. Just ask the Maltese, whose tiny island nation lies 50 miles below Sicily. Early in World War II, when Malta was a British possession, Germany and Italy bombed it almost daily. And centuries earlier it was the site of the Great Siege of 1565, a devastating, yet ultimately unsuccessful, step by the Ottoman Turks toward conquering all of western Europe.

First impressions..we were wowed by the unobstructed views over Strahan Harbour and out to sea. Self catering, we had everything we needed, but a good sharp knife was the only thing lacking.
