Sliema<br />

Malta, with its medieval, renaissance and<br />

baroque architecture, lies right in the heart<br />

of the deep blue waters of the Mediterranean,<br />

just off the southern tip of Italy. The<br />

Maltese archipelago consists of the three<br />

incredibly small islands of Malta, Gozo and<br />

Comino, area 314 km², and the small<br />

population lives happily and peacefully in a<br />

sunny, blue, English-speaking environment.<br />

Malta has a temperate winter climate<br />

where the sun shines practically every day.<br />

In summer, the inviting seas and light<br />

breezes cool you down from the hot sun.<br />

Sliema<br />

Sliema is Malta’s fashionable<br />

cosmopolitan town on the seafront,<br />

dotted with shopping<br />

arcades, casinos, wine bars, openair<br />

cafés, waterfront restaurants,<br />

cinemas, water sports, bowling<br />

alleys and games parlours. Malta<br />

offers open-air festivals and<br />

concerts, theatre, street performances,<br />

fireworks and village<br />

festas. In Malta, you will discover<br />

a leisurely pace of life with<br />

traditional villages, pleasant<br />

countryside and sea-front walks.<br />

Adrian Glapinski, Poland<br />

I loved my stay in Malta and was<br />

positively surprised by the rich history<br />

and culture that it has to offer.<br />

Prehistoric temples and many<br />

beautiful bays impressed me a lot.<br />

I have improved my English and also<br />

met many other foreign students from<br />

all over the world. This is all thanks<br />

to the NSTS interesting leisure<br />

programme and fun after-school<br />

activities. It was a great experience<br />

and I hope that I will manage<br />

to come back again soon.<br />
