All inclusive or breakfast

When purchasing a tour to Malta, many people think about which food system to choose. There is no definite answer to this question, it all depends on the purpose of the trip, hotel category, family budget, personal preferences. The difference in the cost of vouchers is sometimes significant. It is believed that when planning a family vacation on the beach, the All Inclusive system is better. In the hot season, when having a beach holiday with children, you need to take this program, and with drinks without restrictions, and especially in drinking water. Three meals a day pays off, although it is not cheap. If the trip pursues an educational purpose, then it makes sense to take only breakfast. You should not overpay for food and sit in the hotel waiting for lunch if an interesting excursion is planned. The difference in cost can be spent on self-catering.

When is the best time to relax on the island

The climate allows you to stay here all year round, but the massive beach season falls from mid-May to late September. For local residents, it opens on the feast of St. Gregory (after Easter), around the second half of April. By tradition, the Maltese plunge into the still cold sea. In May, the water temperature does not exceed 19 ° C, and impatient daredevils are already sunbathing. You can swim in June, when the sea warms up to 21-22 ° C.

The high season is celebrated during the summer vacation and vacation months. They rush here:

• families with children
• youth, teenagers for recreation and study in special language institutions
• curious adherents of excursions
• athletes, admirers of diving

July and August are a period of intense swimming, the sea water temperature reaches 25-26 ° C. The velvet season is a good time for a comfortable beach. Summer is not over yet, but the sultry days are gone. The water temperature is 25 ° C, in September the Mediterranean Sea is calm, almost calm. The resorts are dominated by older tourists. This season is short, precipitation falls already in October, winds intensify. There are also sunny days, allowing you to sunbathe and swim, but it gets noticeably colder in the evening. At the end of October, the beaches are empty, all coastal services cease their activities. Low season is the period from November to April when there is a decrease in tourist activity.

Vacation with children

Going with your family to Malta, you should be aware that not all resorts on the island are suitable for kids. Older kids will love it here. Schoolchildren who are familiar with history will examine with interest the memorable places of knightly battles, sculptures of ancient heroes. Small children are not interested in museums and fortresses. On excursions you need to walk a lot, they quickly get tired and are capricious. You can take your child to colorful street festivals, festivals, costume carnivals held in Valletta. Children love shooting musketeers, drums, fireworks, music, fireworks. For a kid, areas and hotels with a rocky coast are uncomfortable, it is difficult for him to step on uneven surfaces. Sandy beaches are not everywhere. For family holidays, the following shores are suitable: southeast (Marsascala, Saint Thomas Bay) and northwest (Mellieha Bay, Qawra / Buggibba, Golden Bay).

In these places are the best beaches of the island, clean, fine sand with a smooth entrance into the water. They offer children a variety of activities.
