The Maltese archipelago is set to the center of the Mediterranean to the south of Sicily and it is constituted by the islands of Malta, Gozo, Comino and from other islets.
It is one of the most inhabited territories of the world, with a density of over 1.200 abs / Kmq (over 6 times more than Italy; 4 times more than India), with a strange and amusing atmosphere, some English, some Sicilian, some African.
The strong density of the population and therefore the elevated building and the lack of cleaning almost everywhere alter in negative the landscape beauties, however the Blue Lagoon between Comino and Cominotto is one of the sea places most beautiful in the world.
