What's great about Malta in October?
Malta is a great location for a bit of sunshine in October as the weather is usually good but a little cooler than during the summer months. The temperature is perfect for exploring and there really is so much to see and do on the island and its neighbour, Gozo. The sea is still warm enough for swimming too! Valletta is a beautiful city so if you wanted a quick European city break and some fantastic weather then this would be a great choice.

How long should I spend in Malta? It was a question I asked several friends and I got varied answers. Some said a couple of days while others told me they could easily spend a month. I settled for a week thinking that even thought I was visiting in November, it would still be warm beach weather for this Canadian girl. However, my beach days were not to be.
