pgmetcalf Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Went to Malta in 1981 and loved the place, the Maltese people have great Hospitality. Stayed at Ramla Bay near where you catch the ferry to Gozo. Loved the scenic bays of St Paul’s and St Julian’s and Valletta, what can I say, that U-shaped road with the high buildings on each side and steps up the pavement is amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royalowlisback Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I think Malta is a bit like Marmite - you either love it or hate it. Personally I think it's an horrible place - but then we had a terrible time on our 1 and only visit. We stayed in Sliema - which I thought resembled Darnall - and the weather was atrocious from start to finish. We stayed the 1st week of June, a good few years ago - it never stopped raining, the wind actually smashed the window of our hotel, the swimming pool (situated on the beachfront) was closed, mainly because the sea was on it, in fact the sea was also in the hotel - we had to go to M&S to buy winter clothes - we enquired about flights home, but there wasn't any availability until the day before we were due to go back anyway....

Give it another go mate Try Valletta It's brilliant Did you go out around the Island? Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalowlisback Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Yeah, we went to Valletta, Mdina and Buggibba - they all pretty much looked the same in the rain! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know exactly what you mean, there's a lot nicer places to stay than Sliema though, don't think the weather helped your poor experience of the island, there's loads being improved year on year thanks to the massive European grants they are given in comparison to the relatively small contributions they make.

MartinOwlMan Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Getting rain in Malta for a full week is really unusual especially in June. I have lived here 5 years and we rarely get more than 3 or 4 days at a time. Some spectacular storms at times though! But usually you don't have to wait many days for sunshine and beautiful clear blue skies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
