Ok so let us start with a little general information about Malta. This cute little island (and by little I mean, literally little, since it is approximately only about 122 sq miles - 316 sq km), hosts approximately 400,000 people, most of them being native Maltese. It is roughly only about 60 miles south of Sicily, meaning that a
flight between the 2 islands only lasts about 20 minutes, as soon as the
plane reaches the desired height, it actually starts descending again,
yup! it's as fast as that!
The mother language is Maltese, but almost everyone speaks pretty good English, since it is the official second language of the country, even though a very high percentage of them speak very good Italian too. As regards to financial matters, Malta has been adopting the Euro since January 2004, but, do not worry, if you do not have any Euros, you can change almost any denomination at any Bank, or at one of the Automated Exchange machines found in the most diffused touristic locations.
Being so small, and in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, the weather in Malta calls for very dry and hot beautiful Summers, and mild wet Winters. It is surrounded by beautiful sandy and rocky beaches, and amazing blue seas. Its History and Heritage are surely not to be missed, as are the Village Fiestas, and much more.
I will be talking about all these in the upcoming posts, and on the nightlife, places to visit, food to definitely try, and way more fun stuff to do! Keep tuned in, you will be amazed at what this little island can offer!
Until next time, take care!
