By far the most famous islands are: Malta, Gozo and Comino. With its strategic location, Malta was home to numerous different foreign empires and peoples for centuries; from the Romans to the Knights to St. John and Morren to the British. All left an indelible mark on Maltese society and culture. For example, driving on the left is still practiced in Malta.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>By the way, did you know that the main island of Malta is about 1.5 times the size of Texel?
