The DIY video was shot last June by Mark Camilleri.

In what seems to be becoming something of an internet trend, a new video celebrating Malta's natural and historical beauty seems to be on its way to becoming an online sensation.

Put together with a DIY ethic by Mark Camilleri following a trek around the island last June, the video - having garnered nearly 900 views on YouTube at the time of writing - charts across nearly 200 locations in Malta and Gozo.

Update: less than a day after the video was featured on MaltaToday online, views for the video shot up to over 4,700 on YouTube.

According to the film's YouTube page, the video, filmed using a GoPro Hero HD, an Apple iPhone 4S and iMovie 09, was made as a result of "280km of driving, 496 video clips, two blistered feet and four wonderful days".

Additional filming was provided by Marie-Therese Camilleri, Thomas Camilleri, David Zahra and Clint Mercieca.
