A private family holiday in Italy is probably one of the most accessible adventures for the Maltese. Italy is extremely close, and a one hour flight will get you to most of the airports on our neighbouring peninsula.
If on the other hand, you are into a more adventurous stay you might want to consider leaving home with your car, driving down to Marsa and catch Virtu Ferries to go to Sicily. From there, you will need to drive 2 hours North, to Messina, where you will catch another ferry to Reggio Calabria, Italy.
There’s a lot of experience and adventures awaiting you and your littles ones in Italy.
