5-night Malta escape with air & daily breakfast from $799

Save several hundred dollars on a trip to Malta!

Groupon with Great Value Vacations offers up a rare opportunity to visit the island of Malta and its history dating back to 4,000 B.C.

The island is an archipelago situated about 58 miles south of Sicily and northeast of Tunisia on the North African coast.

Malta’s capital city of Valletta is one of the most concentrated historic areas in the world, according to UNESCO. It’s a walkers paradise with numerous (optional) tours along the coastline of Malta (one of the Mediterranean’s most stunning landscapes) and Gozo — the second most popular of the three islands in the archipelago. The other island, Comino is classified as a wildlife sanctuary (and virtually uninhabited) and popular with snorkelers, divers, windsurfers and hikers.

The Groupon package includes round-trip airfare from 5 U.S. cities, airport transfers, five nights accommodation at AX Seashells Resort at Suncrest in Qawra and daily breakfast. You’ll save an average of 32% vs booking this trip independently.

The Bugibba zone, adjacent to Qawra, houses bars, pubs, and nightlife strung along the seafront in its central square.
