When to go to Malta, best time

Our evaluation by month

Malta, a point in the Mediterranean located off the coast of Sicily and facing Africa, is a very small archipelago made up of three main islands, Malta, Gozo and Comino. Its history, which has witnessed a continuous succession of different peoples, Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans and Arabs, continues to create an inseparable link with the present day. The past can be found in every corner, in the narrow streets of the capital Valletta and in the walls surrounding the city, in the co-cathedral of San Giovanni that was born as a stronghold of the knights of Malta and especially in the silent city of Mdina, the ancient capital surrounded by high walls, or in the ancient Rabat.

Malta is also immersed in the bluest and most crystalline waters of our Mediterranean. Transparency, depth, infinite blue characterize the sea that embraces the archipelago. You can go from small beaches nestled among the rocks to high cliffs that form arches, caves and coves, all to be discovered with a ride on one of the typical Maltese boats of bright colors. Fishing villages line the shores rich in fish, which you will find in many dishes of Maltese cuisine, from soup, stew and stuffed quiche. But now let's see when to go to Malta.
