The Mediterranean island of Malta and its two sister islands of Gozo and Comino enjoy a mild, sunny climate.
This makes a favourable setting for those who enjoy outdoor sport. The mild hills that make part of the
landscape are very intriguing, offering spectacular views of both country and sea panoramas. Cycling for
pleasure and fitness in the Maltese islands is gaining ground and lately a few cycle lanes have also been
introduced. Experience the thrills of cycling between typical Mediterranean rubble walls that act as
windbreakers to cultivated fields. A number of cycling routes have been set up and all offer bicycle users
beautiful scenery of the Maltese islands that cannot be appreciated using a car.
Combine cycling with culture and heritage and you have the best of both worlds.
