to Malta - You
have seen Napoli, been to Capri, visited Sorrento, and toured the Amalfi
Coast, now back to Rome? Maybe not. Are you intrigued by the idea of a

| Malta's
Market Battle - With
new European destinations such as Bulgaria, Slovenia and Croatia offering
two and three bedroom apartments for sale for US $80,000, there was concern
last year among some Malta estate agents that 2005 could see a drop in
the number of international Irish buyers choosing to buy a holiday

warm welcome from the local population who nearly all speak English, Malta
has been popular for some years among overseas property buyers. Jul/05 |

History ~ by Jörg M. Unger - The Republic of Malta lies only
forty nautical miles south of Sicily at the 36th degree of latitude – almost
the same like Monterey, California, or Nashville, Tennessee. Up to the
Ice Age, the islands were part of a land bridge between Italy and North
Africa that was flooded when the ice began to melt. Since then the waters
of the Mediterranean sea have shaped Malta’s coastline and created a fascinating
scenery. Because of the island’s strategic position north of Africa’s shoreline,
it attracted numerous kings and emperors with their warriors and legions
in the antiquity, as well as the Knights of St. John in medieval times.
