MALTA | Fascinating Island Nation in the Mediterranean

My last day in the island country of Malta, in which I go on a truly fascinating tour through millions of years of history, from prehistoric animals to the Roman era, World War 2 bunkers and 5000 year old temples.

For anyone who has been confused by the Malta videos, no I did not leave Greece and go back to Malta. I filmed so much on my last two days in Malta a month ago that the footage got backed up. I decided to jump ahead to the Greek videos and then go back and edit the rest of the Malta series later. As you can see at the end of this video I'm at the airport in Malta, where I'm catching my flight to Athens to begin the Greece trip. The next video will jump back to my more current adventures in Greece. But I won't be on the Greek islands for much longer, planning to catch a flight to somewhere different very soon. Hint: I'm heading for the mountains, to a country I've visited once before, six years ago.

I was just reading about a Canadian man who just came home after travelling around the world for 8 years. I thought of you when he mentioned being stuck in Rishikesh during the pandemic haha (I remember your videos from that place)

Malta looks good thank you for the video Gabe

[@matthewspiteri9817]

Ah, Tarxien temples! I walk my dog by them every day in the evening :P The flags that you commented on are village feast flags. Tarxien has the local parish feast around the first week of June, so that's what those were.

The name of the village you started the video in, is called Gudja.

I see, good to know. 👍✌️

[@miguelmelchior986]

The sand color of the architecture reminds me of Salamanca in Spain, a phenomenal city, thats just incredible at night.. Really amazed by ‘little’ Malta.

[@wilfredotorres6628]

Hi Gabriel, an intense day of viewing some incredible sites in Malta and it falls into the category of hundreds of thousands when the lands were closer together Malta must have been a crossing point for many travelers. This area connecting the nearby lands must have been a midway point of civilization very widespread throughout the region of the Mediterranean the ancient sites are remarkable like those of Gobekli Tepe in Turkey which are descendants of the Hittites while the Mycenaean are Greek descendants. There are only traces of history that only go back a few thousand years.

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

Wow! Love this series on Malta! So much history you’ve sparked our interest and I think it’s captured your heart too! So much history and things to see! Thanks Gabriel! ~Cara 😊

Amazing place

[@roberthayes8603]

Gee, someday those huge mountain oasis gardens in Morrocco might be a fairly convenient non-schengen winter retreat. Maybe the mountainous marvel many believe is the world's oldest managed sustainable agriculture system might be expanded and replicated? Eric Wallace from Atlas Obscura wrote a neat article titled “The Moroccan Food Forest That Inspired an Agricultural Revolution”: There's also many springs that Ethiopian volunteers brought back to life when huge mountain areas there were reforested - mentioned by John D Liu in the film Green Gold. There's so many degraded lands that are being re-created by Ecosystem Restoration Coop campers. It's really great there are 1000's of volunteers contributing 10€/month now. It would be so great to visit and catch a view. 🌲😎🌲

[@rominacamilleri1791]

In Malta every village has its Patron Saint. Village feasts are celebrated thru summer. The flags you saw represent the village festa/Saint.😊

[@Jaybob33]

I was in Malta for a month in the mid 90's the one thing that always stuck in my head was the painted boats I took so my photos 🥰🥰🥰 🇲🇹

[@vincentblackshadow1581]

Did you try pastizzi while you were there? I lived on the ricotta version every day when I was there.

[@cuttinaboot]

A lot of brits go to Malta and just drink and eat at the beach good to see you showing the country has more to offer

See the comment I pinned at the top. These Malta videos were filmed a month ago, before I went to Greece and bought the bicycle.

Please throw some more videos from Greece because I'm sitting here on edge three days in a row already all in a flutter to see some blue and white and nothing only Malta and Malta, and you know Malta is nice ok, Malta is Malta but Greece is Greece you know, like you said, the title of your video was something like "there's something special about Greece" and there is, we are on the same page here . . . . . .

The flags were probably religious and perhaps something to do with a upcoming festa, maybe?
