This is a beautiful island country with a rich history, many ancient buildings and interesting sights.
When to go to Malta?
The choice of the time of year for recreation should be approached with all responsibility. The high season starts here from June, when the average air temperature reaches + 25-26 degrees Celsius, and the water warms up to +21 (this is quite enough for most tourists, especially Russian). The hottest time is August: it's difficult to walk along the street calmly, that is, without streams of sweat all over your body. In the evenings, especially after sunset, the air becomes very stuffy and damp, which can badly affect the health of some people, for example, those who have certain medical contraindications to being in this type of climate. The season for "heat-loving" is coming to an end in September. Namely in the autumn one can observe a velvety summer, when the temperature of the air and the sea is quite acceptable for bathing, but the sun does not burn with all its force. Weather in November in Malta is already cool, so this mini-season is perfect for tourists who want to explore the endless sights of the island or deepen their knowledge of English without being distracted by the tempting Mediterranean Sea.
Holiday in Malta in November
It is in autumn that many plants blossom on the island, in addition, it is time to harvest a rich harvest. Therefore Malta in November does not look like a typical autumn, rather, it's a real Indian summer. Resting on the island is not in the midst of the tourist season, you do not have to worry about entertainment. In this quiet time, when young people have already left the place to sit at desks in the new academic year, when the sun "keeps itself in the frame of decency" (the weather in November in Malta is very sparing), when it becomes possible to completely immerse in the Maltese atmosphere - People come here with the purpose of excursion rest or for increase of working qualification. This topic is very popular now. Learning a foreign language in a foreign country gives many advantages, and a certificate of the received qualification will exalt any employee in the eyes of the authorities. However, for a trip at this time of year, it is worthwhile to prepare with special care. For example, with the approach of the evening, the temperature in Malta in November is significantly reduced (to +13-14 degrees Celsius), which gives a feeling of a dull autumn blossom. Therefore, with it is worth taking things, not only summer, but also winter ones: sweaters, warm pants, sneakers, light boots and windbreakers.
What can you do on the island?
The opportunity to see a huge number of interesting sightseeing sites, such as the capital of Valletta, the old city of Mdina, the Blue Grotto or temple and church buildings will be provided by Malta in November. Reviews of experienced travelers suggest that all the mini-tours shown are very informative. Sitting on the bus, you can hear stories and legends about the ancient soldiers and the Maltese warriors. This month the local is called "dead", as the gates of all cemeteries are open constantly, and residents come to visit their relatives and friends, along with decorating the stunningly beautiful flowers of their graves. This entertainment is rather unusual, but many people like it. This can be seen only by purchasing a ticket and visiting the island of Malta in November. The weather (testimonies to that testimony) is often rainy, so do not forget about the umbrella.
English language learning
Malta is one of the most common places for learning a foreign language (in addition to this island you can go to the USA, Great Britain, Australia, Austria and many other countries). In addition, while living here and at the same time studying, the tourist gets the opportunity to communicate with the Maltese in English, due to which the language barrier simply melts. Most often, students come here during the summer holidays, so as not to miss school or university classes, have time to sunbathe and have fun in the cheerful town of Pacheville. However, the weather in November in Malta contributes to a more in-depth study of a foreign language without being distracted by extraneous things.
Features of schooling
Here there are several major specialized schools known to the whole world (for example, EF or Berlitz). One of them is called EC. Teachers are young and energetic guys and girls (most often between the ages of 20 and 25 years). And the training is not in the form of "learned by heart-told-received-5". Usually these are funny contests, games, charades "live" or puzzles, but all in English. There are only 4 hours of lessons (two pairs with a break for lunch) from Monday to Friday. The result of this experience is the emergence of many friends on interests from various cities of Russia, deepening of knowledge and obtaining a certificate of the achieved level.
Features of accommodation
When you travel to Malta for a typical beach holiday, you can choose absolutely any hotel (even living in a hotel located on the first coastline, you will have to cross the road). There is a wide choice of five-, four- and three-star hotels. However, if you wish or when you purchase a foreign language training program, you can settle in an apartment of local Maltese. Usually, not one individual student is lodged in each family, but at once 5-9 people (but this is even more interesting). All students communicate, eat together with the local, learning and immersing themselves in the true culture of the island. It is difficult to feel it, living in an ordinary hotel with European-quality repair. In the evenings, with new acquaintances, you can go to a club located on the coast, with delicious local food and cheerful dances. Weather in November in Malta gives a chance to swim, but for this you need to know the "right" places: for example, the nearby small island of Gozo - there is a small hidden cove with a beach called Ramla with water temperature + 20-22 degrees. Although local residents swim at this time no longer take risks and clean swimsuits further away in October.
Food on the island
The food here is quite varied. When buying a ticket to Malta, it is better to take breakfast only. The hotel is fed with eggs, ham, bread and other things characteristic for a buffet, and in the family - always flakes with milk. On the coast of any town there is a wide promenade with restaurants for every taste: fast food (Burger King is the most common network), an ice cream parlor (worth a try, as there is no such in Russia) and, of course, local restaurants with branded and Traditional dishes (fried octopus in garlic sauce or rabbit-grilled very tasty). By the way, many cafes in tourist areas have Russian owners who take their own with great joy. Rainy weather in November in Malta even contributes to the establishment of pleasant communication.
Tips for tourists
- In Malta, you should drink water very carefully. Not because it can be of poor quality, but because it is easy to get sick with a cold (especially in the high season). Water should be drunk only warm, in no case cold.
- In each city there are many souvenir shops where you can buy memorabilia for every taste: from unusual but familiar magnets to incredibly beautiful branded handmade vases.
- Do not buy things in Sliema (this town is the most popular tourist area, so prices are high). There are others, for example, Bugibba - a city no less cheerful, but with prices more democratic.
