Malta: The Jewel of the Mediterranean

A tour of the popular Mediterranean country begins in a cathedral gleaming with 24-karat gold, ventures into Malta's rural heartland, and dives deep into the islands' azure waters to reveal the area's Second World War history.

Experience the annual harvest in Malta's ancient olive groves, and preparation for a VIP event in the Versailles-inspired ballroom of one of Malta's stately homes. Plus, the remarkable survival story of Malta's beautiful church of Mosta.

First, round the track at the Malta Classic Grand Prix. Then a local charity releases three formerly injured sea turtles back into the wild. Plus a look at fishing life, and a trip to Malta's little sister island, Gozo.

Skilful boat pilots navigate the challenging Grand Harbour - an operation with great risk. We visit the English pub dedicated to the British Navy and one of Malta's most luxurious hotels.
