I have friends that live in malta and have been there to visit them. Wonderful place, people VERY friendly, beautiful country, but lousy roads! I have to take my Wife back there again soon (they are her friends after all!).
If you have a chance to go there for vacation, do so, but between October and May, when the weather is nicer and the mosquitos are not so hungry! You won’t be sorry.
Thanks, I’ve often wished I could go. It has two official languages, English and Maltese, and Italian and Arabic are also widely spoken there (most Maltese are bilingual or trilingual, or more). The unique ruins of an otherwise unknown prehistoric people are something I’d love to see. And the Maltese gov’t has a longstanding policy of encouraging English speaking pensioners to retire there.
