Malta consists of a small group of islands: Malta, Gozo, Kemmuna, Kemmunett, and Filfla, located in the Mediterranean Sea south of Sicily. Gozo, the most northerly island of the Maltese archipelago, is second in size to Malta. With a population of only 25,000 people, Gozo has a character quite distinct from Malta's. The countryside is greener and more spectacular, with flat-topped hills characterizing the landscape, while the coast has rugged cliffs, penetrated by steep valleys and beautiful bays. Comino is the third smallest island in the Maltese archipelago. Only a handful of farmers live there and neither cars, nor other noisy activities disturb the peaceful tranquility of this little paradise. The bays and rocks in Comino and the crystal-clear waters are ideal for any kind of water sports, especially snorkeling and scuba diving. There is regular ferry and helicopter service to and from Malta and Gozo.
