EU's smallest country has been named a hidden gem: it has crystal clear seas, stunning beaches and incredible architecture

One of the smallest Mediterranean islands, located between Italy, Tunisia and Libya, will impress every tourist with its incredible nature and architecture. Malta is a hidden gem of Europe, where all travelers will find a suitable type of vacation.

There are twelve Blue Flag beaches along the country's coastline, an award given to areas with the best environmental compliance. The crystal clear water and white sand can be enjoyed near the most famous bays of Armije and Mellieħa, the Daily Mirror reports.

Diving or snorkeling enthusiasts will find plenty of options in Malta to observe underwater life. On the seabed, near the Bay of St. Paul, there are the remains of more than 80 sunken ships and airplanes.

The island is home to historical artifacts listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The authorities of the capital of Malta, Valletta, which was founded in the 16th century, preserve the original baroque architecture of the city. Most of the monuments and sculptures have remained unchanged over the years, so they allow you to plunge into the ancient atmosphere.

In addition, almost every city in the country has ancient structures considered to be the most important religious sites. In the small town of Tarxien, you can see Neolithic temples built between 3,600 and 2,500 BC by an unknown culture.

Fans of more active recreation will be attracted to the annual Isle of MTV music festival. At the largest and free event in Europe, world-famous stars appear and delight fans with their work.
