As you step off the plane and into the heart of the Mediterranean, we couldn’t be happier to welcome you to Malta! January may be quieter after the festive buzz, but it’s the perfect time to explore at your own pace – and trust us, there’s plenty to see and do.

In this issue, we’ve crafted a 4-day itinerary for the history buffs, guiding you through Malta’s rich past with visits to our most fascinating museums and historical landmarks. From prehistoric temples to captivating WWII stories, you’ll uncover the soul of this island at every stop.

Need a breath of fresh air? Take advantage of Malta’s mild winter weather (we promise it’s much warmer than back home!) with a scenic walk to Laferla Cross in Siġġiewi. We highlight peaceful trails, breathtaking views, and the serene beauty of the Maltese countryside—perfect for those sun-dappled winter days.

Fancy a change of scenery? Hop on a ferry to Gozo, Malta’s charming sister island just 25 minutes away. Known for its rolling hills, picturesque villages, and slower pace, Gozo is an adventurer’s paradise. From exploring coastal cliffs to savouring artisanal dishes, we’ve got the top things to see and do for your unforgettable day (or two) on this rural gem.

Oh, and don’t leave without trying pastizzi—Malta’s most beloved snack. We’ve rounded up our favourite spots and included a recipe so you can bring a little taste of Malta home with you.

So settle in, take it slow, and enjoy the magic of Malta this winter. You’re home now—merħba!
