 * __Geography__**

Malta is an archipelago in the central part of the Mediterranean Sea, ca. 93 kilometres south of Sicily. The three largest islands are inhabited, Malta, Gozo (spelled Għawdex in Maltese), and Comino (Kemmuna) are inhabited, only a handful of them living on Comino. Along the rugged coast lies a number of good. The landscape is characterized by low hills with terraced fields. The highest point, Dmejrek in Malta, is 253 meters high. Malta Canal in the north separates Malta from the Italian island of Sicily. The climate is typical Mediterranean climate with mild, rainy winters and hot, dry summers. The growing season is really never interrupted, even if unusual cold weather in winter and to put growth back temporarily. Much vegetation dries also in the summer. Water supply is a problem in Malta, since summer is very dry, like when water consumption is highest. Winter rain falls too often as violent storms, and water flows out into the sea instead of pulling through the soil. Spain, Cyprus and the Greek island of Gavdos south of Crete are all south of Malta. Since 1993 Malta has been subdivided into 68 municipalities. ur page here.
