5Malta

Just south of Sicily, Malta offers warmth, history, and blue skies even in January. Daytime temperatures hover around 17–20°C, perfect for exploring without the summer crowds.

Stroll through Valletta’s honey-colored streets, visit the ancient temples of Ħaġar Qim, or take a ferry to Gozo for tranquil coastal walks. Cafés spill out into sunlit squares, and the Mediterranean sparkles beneath cliffs and fortresses. Malta’s compact size means you can soak up culture, scenery, and warmth all in one easy trip.
