Malta is a picturesque island nation stretching across the Mediterranean Sea, between Sicily and North Africa. Throughout its long history, Malta has seen the reign of the Romans, Moors, French, British, and each era has left its mark on it. Fans of rich excursion routes, picturesque beaches and diving come here. The chic squares and cozy streets of Valletta, the natural beauty of the nearby islands of Gozo and Comino, luxury hotels in Sliema and the vibrant nightlife of St. Julian's - in Malta everyone will find something to their liking.
Any European state will envy the impressive number of attractions of small Malta. The leader in the number of tourist must-haves is, of course, Valletta. Gozo deserves special mention - the fabulous island of the nymph Calypso, literally strewn with architectural and archaeological monuments.

There are no problems with accommodation in Malta - the colossal number of tourists who come here every year is a vivid confirmation of this. There are hotels of different "stars" here, and the level of service can vary greatly both within the star lines and between them.
If you decide to visit Malta during the season (from May to September), you definitely need to book your hotel in advance. In winter, many hotels are undergoing renovations, so the number of accommodations is reduced by at least half. At the same time, during this period, most hotels significantly reduce their prices for accommodation. Therefore, a trip from November to March can allow you to have some fun in a suite at a reasonable cost.
