If paradise exists, it might be in Malta, writes Suzy Strutner in The Huffington Post.
In a feature on the small Maltese island, Ms Strutner describes Comino's Blue Lagoon as "a giant, cyan-hued swimming pool between Comino and its even tinier offshoot island, Cominotto.
"The lagoon is hugged by limestone cliffs and caves, which served as hideouts for pirates and marauders in the Middle Ages," she writes.
