Malta Travel Guide Video
The
Maltese archipelago lies virtually at the centre of the Mediterranean, with Malta 93km south of Sicily and 288km north
of Africa. The archipelago consists of three islands: Malta, Gozo and Comino
with a total population of 400,000 inhabitants over an area of 316sq km and a coastline of 196.8km (not including 56.01 km
for the island of Gozo).
Malta is the largest
island and the cultural, commercial and administrative centre. Gozo is the second largest island and is more rural, characterised
by fishing, tourism, crafts and agriculture while Comino is largely uninhabited.

Climate: Malta’s climate is strongly influenced
by the sea and is typical of the Mediterranean. The Islands have a very sunny climate with a daily average of five to six hours sunshine in mid-winter to around 12 hours in
summer.
Winters
are mild, with the occasional short chilly period brought about by the north and north-easterly winds from central Europe.
Summers
are hot, dry and very sunny. Day-time temperatures in summer are often mitigated by cooling sea breezes, but in spring and
autumn a very hot wind from Africa
occasionally brings unseasonally high temperatures and humidity. This is known as the Sirocco, or, in Maltese, the Xlokk
– this wind affects Greece and Italy as well; in Malta the air is generally drier because of the short sea track from the
African coast.
Annual
rainfall is low, averaging 568mm a year, and the length of the dry season in summer is longer than in neighbouring Italy. Sea bathing is quite possible well
in to the ‘winter’ months, and the peak beach season can last until mid- to late October. |

Swimming: The
Maltese coastal waters are generally clean and safe for swimming as there are no tides. Some bays are exposed to north
and north-easterly winds which do produce some strong undercurrents at times.
Useful Tip: Malta's beaches and seas are safe, however if you are new to the Maltese Islands, swim where the Maltese do.
Sun Bathing: The Maltese Archipelago lies virtually at the centre of the Mediterranean and has a latitude more southerly than
that of northern Tunisia. You are therefore advised to take precautions to ensure you avoid over exposure to the
sun. Even in winter it is advisable to wear a suitable factor sunscreen for your skin type. This is important if you
are out walking, or taking part in water sports. A sun hat is a must. Children and especially babies need extra protection
from the sun. If you are sunbathing, it is advisable to avoid the strongest sunlight between the hours of 11am and 3pm in peak summer months.
Useful Tip: Do not wear bathing suits in public areas. Beachwear is for beaches only. |

What
to See & Do: In Malta, you will explore 7000 years of history
yet live passionately in the present. You will span the millennia with an astonishing array of things to discover. And wherever
you go, the Islands’ scenery and architecture provide
a spectacular backdrop. The colours are striking, honey-coloured stone against the deepest of Mediterranean blues.
The
Maltese Islands have been described as one big open-air museum. What makes them
unique is that so much of their past is visible today. Delve into the Islands’ mysterious prehistory, retrace the footsteps of St Paul or see where the Knights of St John defended Christendom.
Malta is holidaying as the mood takes you.
And with near year-round sun, you can indulge in outdoor living at its best.
In just 48 hours and a ilometer or two,
you can try a new sport, laze on an island cruise and tour the most important historic sites, and still have time to join
in the nightlife. That’s the real advantage of a stay here.
The Islands offer plenty of specialist holidays for those seeking to learn a new skill, discover
history or get fit. If you’re interested in sports, we cater as much for the seasoned enthusiast as the casual first-timer.
Malta has wellness and spa facilities at the luxury hotels and club resorts. Sea and land lend themselves
to activities from rock-climbing to gentle rambling.
For a tempo and scene change from Malta itself, hop to the sister islands of
Gozo and Comino. Here, you’ll holiday within a holiday and at the most relaxed of Mediterranean paces. |
