7. Uncovering Ancient Temples & History in Malta: Mediterranean Time Capsule

This compact Mediterranean island nation is a treasure trove of history, boasting some of the world's oldest freestanding structures – the Megalithic Temples – predating Stonehenge and the Pyramids. Malta, along with its sister island Gozo, offers excellent bus services, making it easy and affordable to explore Valletta’s baroque grandeur, ancient walled cities like Mdina, and stunning coastal scenery. English is widely spoken, and the cost of living is generally lower than much of Western Europe. *Savvy Tip: Purchase a multi-day bus pass for cost-effective island-wide travel.
