Read it, then make it stick
Geography of Malta
Limestone islands south of Sicily, with sheltered harbours and scarce freshwater.
Know the shape of the country
Place sixteen cities and towns on Malta and Gozo, then locate seven bays and channels and the wider Mediterranean. The sea retains its complete basin beyond Maltaโs borders. Zoom out to explore it, and zoom in for harbour creeks. Local water areas are generalised learning shapes, not maritime borders. The public-domain reference coastline represents 2010 and may differ from later harbour works.
