Malta Double Decker

Malta Hop On Hop OffThe term Malta comes from the Maltese language but it has Greek roots. Many say that Malta is derived from the Greek word for Honey. The Greeks were known to call the island Melite, which means Honey- sweet. It is rumored that it is named thus because of Malta’s unique honey production, which is different than anywhere else in the world due to a special species of bee who have the island as their natural habitat.

Therefore Malta became known by its nickname The land of Honey to many foreign explorers such as the Romans that visited the island. It is also said that the name Malta comes from the Phoenician word Maleth, which translated means a haven. This could be so because Malta has plenty of beautiful bays and coves.
