What comes to mind when it comes to the Mediterranean? Immediately you want to dive into the bottomless blue of the sea, and then bask for a long time under the gentle rays of some small (even better uninhabited) island. The island of Malta is ideal for fulfilling such a desire. Rest here is a profitable compromise between big desires and modest opportunities.

Holidays in Malta pros and cons

How many people - so many opinions. Some in search of relaxation climb the mountains, others dream of a sofa with a TV and "so that the shore is near." All the pros and cons of a Maltese island.

Definitely yes, because:

There are many attractions and all of them are almost within walking distance from each other;
mild climate and warm weather are conducive to rest all year round;
people of different ages will find entertainment for themselves: children will be delighted with water parks, an aquarium and numerous entertainment programs for children, young people will spend unforgettable nights at discos and clubs, and older people will walk around museums, libraries and craft towns (by the way, there are many clubs and dance floors for people of venerable age);
the best place for diving. Where else but off the coast of Malta to look for sunken ships ?! Clear water cut by the rays of the sun, the ruins (possibly of the sunken Atlantis), sheltering many fish and full immersion in a dream come to life - that's what diving in Malta is;
a complete sense of security. Mother Europe can only envy how the Maltese keep order in their land;
reasonable prices for everything: rooms, food, souvenirs, transport;
well developed transport infrastructure- direct flights to the island (by plane and ferry), and you don't have to stand at the stops for a long time.

Just a dot on the world map

Note! There is a visa regime between Russia and Malta *. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain a Schengen visa before departure.

Arguments "against" holidays in Malta:

with coastline all six islands of Malta are out of luck. There are very few sandy beaches - they are mostly rocky;
few park areas. Vegetation in Malta is rather scarce and sparse;
to test a friend by calling him into the mountains, alas, will not work either - there are no mountains, there is not even a single river;
it is also unlikely that you can get pleasure from shopping - everything here is imported, and therefore the prices are "screwed up".

Additional Information! Airplanes from Moscow to Malta fly 3-4 times a week (even during the peak season). The flight lasts an average of 4 hours and 10 minutes.

Resort range of Malta

Malta is one of the six islands in the Maltese archipelago. 3 islands are uninhabited. What resorts in Malta you will not find on the archipelago - for the rich and not so, for young people and for people who yearn for peace and solitude, for those who are with their “soul mate” and who are without it. So where to relax in Malta?

Hurry to the capital

Valletta is not only the capital of Malta, but also the whole museum complex open air. There are many historical sights here. That is why many people prefer to spend their winter holidays in Malta in Valletta. In addition, it is not only beneficial from a financial point of view, but also comfortable in terms of climatic conditions - in winter the air does not drop below +15 degrees Celsius.

Pay Attention! Valletta has 365 Catholic cathedrals and 2 national museums: archaeological and military.

"Sand" resorts

If you go to Malta in order to sunbathe and lie on the white sand, then you should stay in the town of Mellieha. Its "pluses" - in shallow water, you don't have to worry about children, the coastal strip is wide and long enough and located far from the city infrastructure (some consider this a disadvantage). "Fat minus" - at the peak of the season it is very crowded here.

The resort towns of Cherkeva and Marfa also boast a good coastal sandy strip. If you go to Malta with children, then these cities are a priority.

Malta cannot boast of many sandy beaches

Get off the ground

Someone travels to Golden Bay to see sand dunes, lie on the dark red sand and swim in the purest water... And young people from all over Europe gather here to go diving, ride a "banana" and enjoy the natural beauty of the island from a bird's eye view. All this is possible thanks to the unique location of Golden Bay and the fast water currents that "supply" the wind. Nightclubs and youth discos in this town work "until the last client."

Another resort town of Malta - St. Julian's - is not lagging behind him. Only it differs in that everything here is much more expensive, and sometimes even worse in quality than in other places. This is a rather noisy "night" resort, ready to offer any kind of entertainment in exchange for money. Most of the entertainment clubs, restaurants and discos are concentrated in the Pacherville area.

Note! People from all over Europe are flocking to try their luck at one of the many casinos in St. Julian's.

"Luxury" resorts

Sliema is a suburb of the capital city of Valletta, home to the finest shops, boutiques and malls. Most of the hotels and inns here are from three stars. There are many expensive catering establishments in Sliema, where delicious seafood dishes are prepared.

On a note! The Marsascala resort is also conducive to shopping, entertainment (both night and day) and to occupation. aquatic species sports.

Expensive resorts of Malta are represented by two more cities - Bugiba and Aura. Their description will not differ much from Slima and Marsaskala.

Holidays on one of the islands of Malta - Gozo

The second island of Gozo after Malta is represented by only two resort cities - Marsalforn and Xlendi, and many coastal villages. The small, cozy town of Xlendi was a fishing village until the 80s, but the rapidly developing tourism industry played an important role in its fate. A feeling of peace and harmony appears here for everyone who decides to include this city in the list of places to visit.

Secrets of underwater Malta

This relatively small archipelago is fraught with many interesting sights, and not only land-based ones. Only when you find yourself in the underwater kingdom off the coast of the resort Aura, you can see with your own eyes the famous ship of Jacques-Yves Cousteau "Calypso" resting at the bottom.

Something symbolic and philosophically deep is found by everyone who sees a 3-meter statue of Christ the Savior, submerged to a depth of 40 m.Thousands of tourists every year turn with their requests to the Savior at the bottom, and his hands raised to the sun symbolize a request to preserve the fragile earthly world.

Malta for kids

Splash & Fun Water Park is the best place for entertainment for those traveling to the islands with children. As one of the largest water parks in Europe, it meets all safety standards. Splash & Fun Water Park is extremely well located - 8 km from Sliema and on the very shore of the Mediterranean Sea. The "highlight" of the park is an attraction with a 15-meter artificial wave and a super-ball. This is not the only water park in Malta, but it is the most popular among tourists thanks to reasonable prices and wide choice attractions.

Malta National Aquarium

Where is the best place to relax in Malta so that an adult and a child are equally interested? Where there are playgrounds for children. In the resort town of Aura on an area of 20 thousand square meters. m is the National Aquarium of Malta. Built in 2013, it includes 26 aquariums, each with a display where you can get information about any representative of the underwater world.

The tunnel in the National Aquarium of Malta is only 1.7 m high

Gastronomic discoveries

The first thing Maltese cuisine is associated with is portions that are too large. And also: there are hundreds of dishes prepared from the freshest seafood; varied pastries and, of course, traditional hot dishes such as rabbit stew.

Malta's proximity to Italy and Libya also affected Maltese cuisine. Therefore, the spaghetti with cuttlefish ink or spinach patties are handed out here as their own recipe.

Note! It is better to taste traditional Maltese cuisine in the hinterland of the island - firstly, it is cheaper, and secondly, local chefs cook according to traditional family recipes.

Of the most popular cafes and restaurants on the island of Malta, it should be noted:

The Taste (you can order both traditional dishes and, for example, Vietnamese or Japanese dishes);
Restaurant - for romantics and connoisseurs of expensive delicacies;
Ryan's Irish Pub is the most popular night club;
SJi's Smoot - a cafe for lovers of jazz and delicious ice cream;

And from useful - spoken English will improve significantly, knowledge in the field of ancient history will reach its apogee, health will be added due to the "sunny" vitamin D "healing" salty sea water... Crown have a good rest Maltese gastronomy will become - it tastes good, healthy - healthy.

Oh yes, we must also mention the beaches in small bays - family vacations in Malta are most often devoted to excursions, but it is also nice to bask in the sun by the sea.

This is the main purpose of a trip to Malta - a lot of excursions and a little beach doing nothing. Our review is devoted to what else is interesting to rest with children in Malta.

Vacation with children

Children come to Malta for various reasons. Someone chooses the lively Slima, where summer camps with study of English language... Someone stops a choice on Valletta, from where paths to all attractions open.

Someone wants to relax with a child on the sandy beaches of Mellieha. Which of these do you prefer? In Malta, the question is not so important - here you can use everything at once.

When is the best time to go

Tourists come to Malta all year round, but the overwhelming majority of them choose the high season in Malta for their holidays, that is, the period from April to October.

Resorts experience the greatest stress in summer and early autumn, that is, during the beach season. At this time, the cost of flight and accommodation increases by 20-50% compared to the prices in force in winter and early spring. Early booking helps to save money.

The beginning of the swimming season in Malta coincides with the peak of the heat. Should you plan a vacation with your child during this time? Perhaps the idea of sunbathing on rocky beaches and diving from rocks into the sea may appeal to teenagers, but for the sake of beach holiday with a baby, you should choose a country with a gentle climate and more comfortable beaches.

But if you do not strive for southern islands in summer, a vacation with a baby in Malta will be successful. In April, May, the second half of September and at the beginning of October, the weather is warm, but not hot, and therefore the kids easily acclimatize.

This time is also great for excursion trips. When is the best time to go to Malta? We suggest you find out more about the weather in this country.

Weather and climate

If you find Malta on the map, it turns out that it is located south of many resorts in Tunisia. Shouldn't you be afraid of the African heat? Not at all: the climate of Malta is very similar to that of the islands of Greece and Mediterranean coast Turkey. It has hot, dry summers and rainy but warm winters.

The holiday season in Malta opens at the end of spring, when the air warms up to + 23-25 ° C. However, at this time you will have to limit yourself to sunbathing, since the water in the sea is too cold for swimming. But if you come to the opening of the season, you can not only lie on the beach, but also get out on an excursion until the sun is hot.

The heat increases already at the beginning of summer. In June, the air temperature rises to + 28 ° C, and this contributes to the fact that the sea warms up quickly.

June is a good time for a vacation in Malta: children will be able to swim in the sea, while the heat is not too annoying.

In July and August, the thermometers show + 30-31 ° C in the morning, and sometimes rise to + 35 ° C during the daytime. It is best to go to the beach at this time early in the morning or in the evening, and wait out the daytime heat in air-conditioned rooms. hotels.

The best vacation in Malta with children starts in September. The weather in early autumn is very similar to June: the air temperature drops to + 27-28 ° С, but the sea remains very warm. At the same time, in September, many tourists go home, and it becomes quiet and at ease on the beaches.

On the beaches of Malta, you can sunbathe in October as well, since the air temperature does not drop below + 24-25 ° C. But you need to be prepared for the fact that clear days will be interspersed with cloudy ones.

In October, autumn rains begin, sometimes a cool wind blows, the sea is rough.

The rains intensify by November and fall until mid-spring. Despite this, sunny days in winter are not uncommon, and there is no reason to refuse excursions in Malta. The winter air temperature is kept at + 10-15 ° C, and in March the air warms up to + 17-18 ° C. This is the time of flowering, when the rocky, seemingly barren ground is covered with a green carpet.

Sea water temperature

Malta has a special opening date for the swimming season. This is the day of St. George, which is celebrated on April 23rd. The Maltese believe that on this day it is imperative to swim in the sea - and swim, although the water temperature does not exceed + 16 ° C.

Despite the fact that the swimming season is officially open, there are few people who want to swim in the spring. In May, the sea temperature is only + 18 ° С, and only by the beginning of summer the water warms up to + 21 ° С.

In June, with the onset of hot days, the sea water becomes warmer day by day. Already at the end of the month, the water temperature in Malta rises to + 24 ° С, and in July and August the water warms up to + 26 ° С.

The sea remains almost the same warm in September. Usually the temperature is kept at + 24-25 ° С until the end of September and + 23 ° С - until the end of October. Beach holidays in October sometimes get in the way of rain, but divers find the October weather quite suitable for diving.

Sea and beach

The coast of Malta is indented with bays, so the beaches here are small, accommodating several hundred, and sometimes only a few dozen people. The coast is mostly rocky and beaches are often set up on natural stone platforms. But sometimes there are sandy beaches, natural and bulk, as well as sections of the coast covered with pebbles.

Sandy beaches are generally the best equipped. Admission to them, like most beaches in Malta, is free, but for a fee you can use a sun lounger and an umbrella.

Plus sandy beaches - a gentle entrance to the water and a shallow sea near the coast, which is convenient for swimming with kids. The downside is the overcrowding of beaches in high season.

Malta's longest sandy beach is located in Adira Bay near Mellieha... The island of Gozo also has a spacious coastline covered with sand - this is Ramla Bay.

There are sandy beaches in almost all resorts, as well as in deserted places, far from tourist places... It is worth visiting several beaches to see the multi-colored sand: white in Mellieha, pink in Bugibba, orange-red in Ramla Bay on the island of Gozo.

Rocky and pebbly beaches are often wild, which does not make them less popular. Some of the beaches of Sliema and Bugibba, located on the cliffs, even deserve a "blue flag".

But with small children, it is inconvenient to rest in such places: it is hard to lie on the stones, you have to go down the steps into the water, the depth begins right at the shore. But with teenagers who swim well, you can settle in one of the many secluded bays and dive into the water directly from the rocks.

The peculiarity of a beach holiday in Malta is its remoteness best beaches from popular resorts. Some beaches lead bus routes, but most of the time, the most picturesque bays can only be reached by car.

The most beautiful rocky beaches - bay Ankor in the northwest of Malta, near Mellieha, cove st paul next to Bugibba, Sliema embankment, Marsascala next to Valletta, Marsaxlokk at the southern tip of Malta and many others.

It is for the sake of relaxing on the beautiful rocky beach that you should get out to the tiny island of Comino: Blue Lagoon- a favorite place for connoisseurs of a secluded beach holiday.

Nutrition

The all-inclusive system is not very common in Malta, more often the concepts of “breakfast only”, “half board” or “full board” are offered.

If you are planning independent rest in Malta with children, you can opt for a room in an apart-hotel or an apartment. They are equipped with a kitchen, which means that it will be convenient for you to cook your usual food or warm up baby food.

All resorts have supermarkets and small grocery stores, as well as grocery stores, where vegetables are fresher than in large retail chains. Food for the youngest tourists is sold in supermarkets and pharmacies.

With a child who already eats from an adult's table, you can visit restaurants of national cuisine. Maltese cuisine is reminiscent of Italian and Greek, with many healthy dishes that are easy to digest.

Pizzerias are also very popular in Malta. Fidget children will love a visit to the Pastizzeria, a café where pastizzi pies with savory fillings are baked.

Summer camps and language centers

Not all children also dream of studying on vacation, but in the language camps in Malta, learning is fun and interesting. Since most of the camps are located in the resort regions of Malta, English lessons alternate with relaxing on the beach and trips on excursions.

Children of different ages can rest in the camps: junior schoolchildren, adolescents, even young people.

It should be noted that language centers in Malta operate all year round. Their popularity is in the price, which is almost twice lower than in the countries Western Europe... At the same time, many of those who studied in Malta are happy that they were finally able to speak English.

Medical tourism and wellness

Malta is known for its clinics that accept foreigners for treatment. The two largest clinics are located in Sliema and Santa Venere. They specialize in the treatment of diseases of the respiratory, endocrine, cardiovascular systems, musculoskeletal system.

In addition, the islands in the Mediterranean are renowned for their healing combination of natural factors. Climatotherapy is available to all vacationers, and if you are interested in specialized procedures, you can contact the Thalassotherapy centers of St. Julian's and Attard.

Transport

The numbering of routes helps to understand the directions in which buses are moving: the letter X denotes express trains connecting the resorts with the airport, numbers from 1 to 99 have routes that go through the capital, numbers from 200 to 300 - bypassing the capital, numbers with the letter N - at night routes.

Malta boasts attractive landscapes and good weather all year round. Small but having rich history, this country will be interesting for tourists of any age. If you are having difficulty finding a place to stay in Malta, we offer several options.

Gozo is the second largest island in the vicinity of Malta. It is small, calm and picturesque. There are a number of interesting places to visit: Azure Window, Calypso Cave, Ggantija Temples.

Gozo is chosen by tourists who do not need casinos, clubs and noisy bars, and the prices for food here are lower than those offered on the island of Malta. This is especially true for picturesque villages, so it is worth combining a trip to non-tourist corners with a hike to local restaurants.

This resort is an incredibly popular and lively place. It will be comfortable for those who do not mind the noise in the evenings and those who do not return to the hotel before midnight.

Youngsters will love the local clubs and restaurants, as well as the long promenade. In the center of the resort there is tourist area, where you can not only walk, but also arrange shopping.

This is the most fashionable area among the resorts of Malta. Sliema is a modern and developed city with the best places for shopping and dining.

Among the sights, it is worth highlighting the fort, watchtower and many churches. It is worth noting that most of the tourists in Malta stay in Sliema, since the most modern hotels are located here.

Mellieha is a relatively quiet and underdeveloped resort, located far from other holiday destinations, but rewarded with magnificent nature. It will appeal to those who go on vacation for the sake of rest, and not nightlife.

One of the best shallow beaches is in Mellieha, so there are many tourists with children.

In the vicinity of the city, you can see the ancient coastal fortifications, visit nature reserves or go to the islands of Comino and Gozo, which are nearby.

As soon as you get to the coast of St. Julian's, you immediately see a large concentration of clubs, restaurants and lively bars.

This place is considered the best for nightlife in Malta. At the other end of the bay is the quieter part of the city known for good hotels high category.

The capital of Malta has a lively atmosphere during the day and becomes quite a peaceful city at night. The choice of hotels is limited, but the city has a rich past, many museums, restaurants and shops.

It is worth visiting the majestic palaces, Freedom Square, numerous churches and cathedrals. Valletta is a city steeped in history that will be of interest to architecture lovers.

Malta has many interesting places to have fun and relaxation. Such places include the island of Gozo. It is one of the finest Maltese islands and is ideal for family vacations. Fans of constant parties and nightclubs do not choose this resort. The island boasts beautiful nature, well-developed infrastructure and everything necessary for recreation.

The island can please holidaymakers with stable weather conditions... It is dry in summer, precipitation is extremely rare, temperature fluctuations, if any, are minimal. average temperature the air in the summer months is in the range of 32-35 degrees. The beach season starts in May and lasts until mid-October. In winter, the air temperature rarely drops below 10 degrees above zero.

There are many beaches and they are varied, everyone can choose the beach that they like best. As well as sandy beaches there are pebbly, stony, rocky and even concrete ones. The most popular beaches are San Blas and Ramla Bay. In order to get around the island, it is better to rent a car or take a taxi. There is a bus service, but it is poorly developed, so you should not rely on this type of transport (the size of the island is not small, so walking is not an option all the time). By ferry, you can independently get to other islands and save on buying excursions.

The island has a sufficient number of hotels of various stars, but a distinctive feature of all hotels is a high level of service. Each hotel on its territory has bars, swimming pools, terraces. Some hotels have their own tennis courts. In addition, each hotel has its own range of entertainment. And here we are not talking about animation, but about gyms, spa centers, saunas, diving centers and much more. There are a large number of water attractions, opportunities to go diving, fishing, go to a nightclub, sit in a restaurant and much more.

In terms of attractions, there is something to see, but the most significant place the island is the Citadel Fortress. For many centuries, this structure served as a defense against pirate raids. There are several museums inside the fortress that can tell you about the life, culture, religion and history of the Maltese state. Here are the Folklore, Natural, Cathedral museums, as well as the Museum of St. George. In addition to the Citadel, you can visit other attractions, including the Palace of Justice, the Bishop's Palace, the flowering Rundl gardens and many others.

It is to this island that I advise you to pay attention. Compared to other resorts, it is not so noisy here and, nevertheless, you can choose entertainment for every taste and pocket.
