Ah, right, I seem to remember that you had mentioned a long time ago in the forum that you were once in Malta

Then it would be fun for you to see how Malta has changed in the last 6-7 years, especially in St Julians where everything has been built up with "Hightowers". - Also there in St George Bay where the one camera seems to hang, a big change will also take place with a huge construction project.

yes, three times I've been there... each time in January. Also loosely playing with the idea of hitting it again this winter. Just had a rough look yesterday for flights over New Year's Eve....ended up at about 400€. I think I can remember that I have never paid more than 200€ round trip. If you look again more closely, it could possibly be even cheaper. But the hotels there are dirt cheap...more than 25€ a night has never cost. Was just always so ne simple three-star place, but that's enough for me completely

Always depends.

Products or food in the supermarket that are also produced here such as minced meat, is minimally cheaper than in Germany.
But everything that is imported is of course enormously more expensive.
I always have the example with the Milka chocolate in my head, in certain supermarkets you pay for a bar of chocolate partly 3-5 euros. And such a thing is of course also clearly noticeable if you always commit to products when shopping that you are used to from Germany.

In restaurants and bars, of course, it always depends on the area where you are.
In tourist areas like Valletta, St Julians or Sliema, the prices are of course higher than somewhere outside where almost only locals stay.
As an example: In a bar in the middle of the tourist area you pay about 9-12 euros for a cocktail.
But in my regular bar, which is located a few meters outside the tourist area, you pay for 2 beers + 2 gin and tonics a total of 8-9 euros.
