Malta

Malta has a uniquely mixed cultural heritage, including Arabic, Italian, French and English. This makes it a great place to visit – whether you’re interested in the island’s history, its fantastic cuisine or the many attractions it has to offer. <a href="https://www.travelrepublic.co.uk/1-25980-2-0/holidays-in-malta" title="Malta holidays">Malta</a> has a fabulous mix of beaches and secluded coves. It also offers arguably some of the best diving in the world, with undersea caves and sunken relics from WWII. The island’s capital, Valletta, is small but full of elegance. It has a wealth of history and attractions to visit, and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The tall, old buildings and multi-coloured balconies are definitely a sight worth seeing. There’s also plenty of nightlife and culture to explore and a range of bars and restaurants.

The seaside resort Qawra is calmer than Buġibba although the two towns merge into each other. Restaurants, cafés, shops, bars, clubs, casino, and other tourist facilities are available. But here, watersports dominate the shoreline which is great for sunbathing, snorkelling, and swimming.

Qawra

Mellieha is one of mainland Malta’s most northernmost villages – overlooking Malta’s largest sandy beach, Mellieha Bay. Located in a more rural and quiet part of Malta, it’s a popular summer resort for locals as well as tourists looking for a holiday in the sun.

Local Time

Malta has a typical Mediterranean climate with warm temperatures throughout the year. The hottest months are from June to September, when temperatures are in the high 20s. Spring and autumn are a good time to visit, as there are fewer crowds but the temperature is still in the mid-20s. Winter is cooler but it’s still warm enough to sit outside, although expect a bit more rain at this time.
