Next Up - Malta and Greece

Malta is an impressive island sitting near Italy and Greece.  Despite their money woes, Malta is experiencing a burgeoning economy.  It is virtually a walled island and uses its natural resources wisely.  I would suspect a good government too.

This stop was added when Ephasus, Turkey was removed due to visas not being issued by either government.  As much as I would have liked to get a glimpse of Turkey, I also want to be safe.  Malta turned out to be a pleasant surprise.
