Malta
Valletta from the ferry
Comino (Maltese: Kemmuna) is an island of the Maltese archipelago between the islands of Malta and Gozoin the Mediterranean Sea, measuring 3.5 km² in area. Named after the cumin herb that once flourished on the Island, Comino is noted for its tranquility and isolation. It has a permanent population of only four residents. Between Comino and adjacent islet of Cominotto (Maltese: Kemmunett) lie the transparent, cyan waters of the Blue Lagoon (Maltese: Bejn il-Kmiemen, literally "Between the Cominos"). Frequented by large numbers of tourists and tour boats daily, the Blue Lagoon is a much photographed, picturesque bay, with a brilliant white, sandy base, and a rich marine life that make it popular with divers, snorkelers and swimmers.

The centre of Valletta is Palace Square, with the Grand Master's Palace, built by Gerolamo Cassar between 1568 and 1574. This Renaissance palace with its two entrances on the main front now houses the Maltese Parliament, the residence of the President of Malta and various Government offices.
This was taken on our honeymoon.
Malta is under pressure of tourism sector but you still can find nice place.
