Peter Greenberg Unveils the Island’s Untold Stories
Malta is no longer one of Europe’s best-kept secrets - but just when you think you know it, it reveals another layer. In Hidden Malta, award-winning travel journalist Peter Greenberg takes viewers beyond the familiar postcards to uncover the island’s lesser-known corners and authentic experiences that even seasoned travellers may have missed.
From the salt pans of Gozo to the quiet fishing villages where time stands still, from the delicate artistry of traditional Maltese tiles to the nearly forgotten game of Brilli, Hidden Malta captures the essence of what makes these islands so captivating. Viewers are invited to see Malta not only as a destination of history and heritage, but also of living culture, creative craftsmanship, and natural beauty.
Travellers around the world are increasingly seeking authenticity - experiences that go beyond guidebooks and glossy brochures. The documentary showcases exactly that: the genuine Malta, where tradition meets contemporary life, and where every encounter tells a story.
A Destination Stepping Onto the Global Stage
The timing of Hidden Malta could not be more ideal. With Delta Airlines announcing a new direct flight from New York (JFK) to Malta International Airport starting Summer 2026, travel between North America and Malta has never been easier. For discerning travellers, this opens the door to a Mediterranean escape that feels both exclusive and accessible.
Broadcasting Malta to the World
Hidden Malta will premiere this fall on PBS across the United States, reaching millions of viewers with multiple repeat broadcasts. Following its U.S. debut, the program will be available globally on Amazon Prime and Apple TV+, ensuring Malta’s stories resonate with audiences around the world.
