THE SOUL SICILY WITH AN OPTION FOR MALTA:  SISTERS IN HISTORY

Malta and Sicily's histories and cultures are interconnected. Back i 5900 BC, a group of settlers from Sicily inhabited Malta, and the exchange between the two hasn't stopped ever since. Malta is the tenth smallest country in the world. It is a delicious cocktail that incorporates tens of stunning beaches, diving spots, prehistoric temples, nightlife districts, fortified cities, urban areas and tranquil countryside. Valetta, the capital city is a Baroque masterpiece that is full of landmarks. If you have been to Sicily you have visited some of the most beautiful Baroque cities such as Noto. If not you need to come with me to see this amazing city. Although they have different dishes but the food of both places are similar with the influences of Middle Eastern, but Malta has the influences of Spanish, French and British foods. While Sicily uses the Arabic mixed with Greek and a few other influences. This is the perfect trip to see these two places and how they are sisters but from different families.
