Malta from most tourists is associated with the Maltese knightly order, must not be said for no reason. This is one of the few organizations that passed through the century and practically unchanged its principles. Only there is one small "but" - geographically the heart of the Maltese Order is in Italy, and the Maltese archipelago himself was donated by Karl V Maltese in 1530, this wise comrade expects to protect his state from the Turks and Pirates and it succeeded. Maltese Order An integral part of the archipelago, the monuments of the Knight's past harmoniously became a continuation of the present. In the blood of Maltese, nobility, going to Malta, you can not worry about security, here spiritually and moral origins are so strong that the doors in homes are often not locked up. The islands are very beautiful, the mild climate of the Mediterranean and the sea make rest truly useful, complement the picture of the enormous number of architectural monuments and other attractions.
You can come here on a ship or plane. The airport is called Gaud, already from it you will go on, to the selected resort. From the airport you can take a taxi if you choose this method - take care of it in advance, so it will be cheaper. The approximate cost of a taxi commissioned through the site of the airport, in two sides will be about 30 euros. If your route allows you to have time and strength on the "passing" excursion - travel by bus. The cost of the ticket for the bus from Guy to Valletta is about 60 euro scents, the number of this route "8". Buses all look at the same type, but they can differ in color, the route number is indicated on the left side of the windshield.
Previously, a taxi helicopter was also available (60 euros per person), but probably due to low demands now this service is not available. You can rent a car, but it is worth considering that the movement of right-hand and pay not only the cost of renting a car but also a deposit for him. For a used foreign car, take a deposit from 700 to 1000 euros. No matter what transport you will choose, the main thing is that the country is very hospitable and if you even get lost to you will help you, almost by hand will bring.
Prepare for the fact that architectural monuments will be everywhere. Even a simple walking down the street becomes a guided tour.
If you are one of the goals of the trip, go shopping, then keep in mind Malta is not the most suitable place for this occupation. Of course, there are also large shopping centers, and mono-branded shops, and just interesting shops with a good choice, but low prices are rarity, since almost the entire range is imported. It is worth a walk with the aim of making purchases in Slime, start the hike from the place of "parking" of pleasure steamboats, go through the narrow streets deep into - here there is a chance of finding interesting things, sometimes the price may be attractive. Actually, if desired, even on the Gozo, you can make good purchases, especially the shoes we liked. In Valette, for example, in the shoemaker not designed for tourists, two pairs of women's sandals were purchased for 5 and 7 euros from genuine leather. Most shops are closed very early and work only five to six days a week, that is, hiking for shopping for the weekend is better not to plan.
Most of the entertainment of Malta type of clubs / Disco / Restaurants / Concerts are Saint-Julians. For fans of "sweating", this is a good place, but there are clubs from the category "Who for 30" - there will be a person who will be dancing there are five, the rest of the public will be sad to see the act on the dance floor.
Regarding food, restaurants, pubs, taverns - the kitchen is predominantly Mediterranean, many dishes are borrowed from Italian. They are pretty quite well, but restaurants designed for tourists (for example Paparazzi, Dolce Vita in St. Julians) it is better to get around the face. There are two reasons, both classic - the prices are inadequate, the quality is low. Choose taverns and restaurants away from tourist places, small islands, 10-15 minutes and you are already in the "outback". In such establishments, not only the kitchen is authentic, the atmosphere itself has a pleasant rest and receiving from food not only benefits, but also pleasure. Before hitting all the grave and order "first, second, third and compote", order a salad and wait for it. Portions of this size, which can be consolidated with one dish. One of the traditional names in the menu is rabbit. Look at the photo, there is half of the rabbit carcass, half a kilo potato and in the appendage more carrots with beans - it is assumed that this is the second dish designed for one person.
Traditionally presented in any tavern delicious varieties of bread, more often than their own baking, cheese, olives, anchovs, good selection of wines, fish dishes. Prices vary, as elsewhere, the bill may be at 12 -15 euros for a comprehensive lunch, in 5 - for pizza for two, at 30 per lunch of three dishes and alcohol for two or 30 for the same set for each.
If you arrived for a long time and remove the apartments, you can cook well, it is better to buy products in large network markets, with the exception of cheese, bread and olives - it is better to choose in small private shops or in the markets.
You can come to Malta with children, the only thing worth considering - the sandy beaches is practically no, the only option for kids pools, but they are enough during hotels. Also pay attention to the fact that in the winter months here although it is rare, but it happens quite windy weather.
