3. Malta

IM Score: 33

One of the most breathtaking destinations in the Mediterranean, Malta has managed to stay under the radar when it comes to beach vacation destinations. It is an all-season archipelago, with islands that offer both scenic beauty and history. The Gozo Island, once home to the famous Azure Window before its unfitting collapse, is the country’s most popular tourist destination. The islands of Malta offer travelers a chance to enjoy pristine beaches, ancient megalithic structures, and marvels including underwater caves, secret coves, and even shipwrecks.
