Malta is a great British winter getaway destination. Its mild winters and pro British attitude make a second home in the Mediterranean for British people. Thousands of people rent holiday apartments in the winter months, outside the main holiday season and appreciate a winter without ice and snow at a most reasonable price. Because of the big British community resident in Malta, holidaymakers can play golf, bridge and join ready-made welcoming social groups. One of the nicest times for a holiday in Malta is in March, early spring, when wild flowers make a colourful appearance and the days grow warmer. Spring in Malta can bring temperatures in the high teens and low twenties, very pleasant for walking and sightseeing. The capital Valletta, the walled town of Mdina, the fishing villages around Marsaxlokk all offer holidaymakers plenty of interesting sights and experiences. This is the time to walk along the beaches of Golden Bay and Mellieha, when there is a wide expanse of clean sand and before the crowds appear. Watch spear fisherman diving for fish, spot anemones and small creatures in the clear waters. The Maltese have largely adopted British cuisine and traditions. Many shops import British foods so that for holidaymakers, Malta is another ‘home from home’ except with much better weather. more info >>
