Ah, right, I 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.

Edit: We had talked about it internally the other day, because we have seen old photos of our first apartments and also of our first office in Malta, or of the areas, and if you compare that with today's Malta is really very frightening.

yes, three times I was there... each time in January. Also loosely playing with the idea of hitting it up again this winter. Have yesterday only times gaaanz roughly looked for flights over New Year's Eve....landed 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 on it.

Products or food in the supermarket which 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 favorite 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.

Yes you probably have in every country so, you have to know the right corners.In Spain at the tourist place ordered a paella overpriced and not tasty at all.Then we went for a walk almost lost 😄 and in a kind of back alley found a small cozy restaurant and get the best paella I've ever eaten.For a "good" cocktail I also like to pay 9-10€ but mostly we got glasses where more ice than "fuel" was in it and for 13€.

Malta is in any case on the to-do list, but would inform me in advance with you where we have to go

Is it possible to swim in Malta in January? At least in the hotel pool or is it too cold for that?


And which city would you recommend to someone who flies to Malta for the first time? And where are the most beautiful beaches and why are the hotels so cheap? For the Canary Islands you pay at least double. Sorry for all the questions, but I'm interested right now.
