"With its rich history, crystal-clear seas, and mild climate, Malta is well worth visiting year-round. The new LOT Polish Airlines connection allows travellers from Poland to discover this extraordinary island’s charms, with four convenient flights operating each week. I believe this route will benefit tourism and economic development in both countries. We invite you to join us on board." - Michał Fijoł, CEO of LOT Polish Airlines
Valletta: A City Where Every Corner Tells a Story
Valletta, the island’s capital and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a must-see on any visitor’s itinerary. Despite its compact size, it features an extraordinary array of monuments and attractions that delight visitors at every turn. Valletta is a city brimming with historical treasures and spectacular views. Key sights include the baroque St. John’s Co-Cathedral, home to masterpieces by Caravaggio; the impressive Grand Master’s Palace, with its richly decorated interiors and armour collection; and the Upper Barrakka Gardens, offering panoramic views of the Grand Harbour. Fort St. Elmo and the National War Museum highlight the island’s strategic importance throughout history. Don’t miss the Manoel Theatre – one of Europe’s oldest working theatres – or the lively Strait Street, with its many restaurants and live music venues. Valletta captivates at every turn with its history and Mediterranean charm.
Gozo – A Coastal Slice of Paradise
While in Malta, don’t miss the chance to explore Gozo. This charming islet is just a 25-minute ferry ride from one of Malta’s ports. At Dwejra Bay, you can see where scenes from the global TV hit ‘Game of Thrones’ were filmed – unsurprisingly, given the breathtaking rock formations and incredible landscapes. Local legends say that mermaids once inhabited these waters. Today, Dwejra and its surroundings form a nature reserve, making it an ideal spot for diving and admiring the local flora and fauna.
Ramla Bay, Gozo’s most beautiful beach, is famed for its unique, red sand, and a truly special holiday atmosphere. It’s said that Caligula had his summer residence here, and the mythological goddess Calypso held Odysseus captive in a nearby cave. During the season, Ramla Bay buzzes with cultural life, as many festivals take place there.
Marsaxlokk – Where Time Seems to Stand Still
For those who enjoy relaxed mornings, leisurely strolls, and moments of peace, Marsaxlokk, Malta’s oldest fishing village, is truly enchanting – a perfect place to unwind. The colorful ‘luzzu’ boats are captivating, inviting a moment of contemplation. The local market is equally vibrant, offering a dazzling array of fresh fish, fragrant cheeses, delicious sweets, and soft bread.
A little off the beaten track lies Anchor Bay, another charming spot, with its beautiful turquoise waters and the film set of Popeye Village. Fans of the film can step into the scenes featuring the golden-hearted, eccentric sailor. While it’s not a typical theme park with rollercoasters, there’s plenty of fun, sunshine, and water-based adventure to be had. This unique setting, now one of Malta’s most unexpected attractions, is worth a visit – whether you’re with children, friends, or exploring on your own.
"We are delighted that LOT Polish Airlines will further strengthen Malta’s connectivity with Poland through year-round flights to Warsaw, particularly given the recent rise in popularity of this market locally. Besides serving as a point-to-point link, the newly launched flight can be used as a connection, putting Malta on the map for potential visitors from places that are not directly connected to our islands." - Alan Borg, Malta International Airport CEO
Year after year, the popularity of this Mediterranean country is rapidly growing among Polish buyers. In January this year, tourists from Poland made up the largest group of European visitors to Malta – nearly 31,000. According to the latest data, in February, the island was visited by even more Poles – 31,500, ranking second among European nations, second only to visitors from the UK.
"LOT adds an additional dimension to Malta’s connectivity from Poland opening the door for segments such as business travel. Furthermore, LOT’s North American and Asian networks provide an additional seamless service for visitors from these long-haul markets wanting to visit Malta." - Carlo Micallef, Malta Tourism Authority CEO
A Window to the World
The new LOT Polish Airlines connection doesn’t just benefit travellers to Malta; it also offers numerous opportunities, both for leisure and business, to those flying from Malta to Poland. Poland features diverse landscapes, from the coast, through the Masurian Lake District and the forests of Podlasie, to its mountain regions – offering something for every holidaymaker.
Warsaw Chopin Airport serves as an excellent hub for onward travel. The national carrier’s extensive network allows passengers to easily connect to flights across Europe, Asia, North America, and beyond. Major cities like New York, Chicago, Seoul, and Dubai are all within easy reach. Chopin Airport’s high-quality service, seamless transfers, and central European location make it a key transit point, connecting passengers to LOT Polish Airlines’ global network.
Tickets for flights from Warsaw to Malta are available through all sales channels, including lot.com, the LOT Contact Centre, and LOT Travel offices.
