In Malta kun je geld verdienen door plastic, metalen en glazen flessen te recyclen dankzij een statiegeldsysteem dat in het hele land actief is. Per fles ontvang je 10 cent terug, en het systeem moedigt zowel recycling als het opruimen van zwerfvuil aan.

Malta staat bekend om haar bruisende nachtleven, vooral in Paceville (St. Julian's), waar je bijna elke avond van de week kunt feesten. Het uitgaansleven is energiek, goedkoop én vol internationale gasten. Maar het werkt net even anders dan je misschien gewend bent in Nederland.

Altijd al willen duiken in helderblauw water tijdens je vakantie op Malta? Dit is je kans! NedMalta organiseert samen met Malta Blue Diving een unieke Nederlandstalige proefduikervaring voor beginners én nieuwsgierige vakantiegangers.
