Tours to Malta from Almaty — a holiday on a sun-drenched Mediterranean archipelago with a thousand-year history, azure bays, and a hospitable atmosphere. Kz.Eurasiatravel will help arrange a trip to Malta from Almaty with the perfect blend of beach and sightseeing.
Why choose Malta
- Unique history — the Hospitaller Knights, Phoenicians, Arabs, and the British have left a heritage on Malta that rivals an open-air museum. The capital Valletta is entirely on the UNESCO list.
- Crystal-clear sea — rocky bays with transparent water, underwater grottoes, and reefs make Malta one of the best snorkeling and diving spots in the Mediterranean.
- Compact size — the whole island can be toured in a day. All attractions, beaches, and towns are within 30-40 minutes' drive of one another.
- English language — Malta is an English-speaking country, which makes communication easy and the trip comfortable. Many travelers combine vacation with language courses.
- Mediterranean climate — over 300 sunny days a year, mild winters, and hot summers. The swimming season runs from May to November.
Popular cities and resorts
Valletta
Malta's miniature capital, built by the Knights of the Order of St. John in the 16th century. St. John's Co-Cathedral with a Caravaggio painting, the Grandmaster's Palace, the Barrakka Gardens with a panorama of the Grand Harbour — Valletta amazes with the concentration of masterpieces on a tiny territory. Flights from Almaty arrive at the international airport near Valletta.
Sliema
A modern resort town on the bay opposite Valletta. A long promenade, numerous restaurants, shops, and hotels make Sliema a popular base for vacationers. From here you get a stunning view of the capital's silhouette, especially at sunset.
St. Julian's
Malta's main entertainment hub with the Paceville district, where clubs, bars, and restaurants are concentrated. Spinola Bay with its colorful luzzu boats creates postcard-perfect views. St. Julian's is the ideal pick for nightlife and active leisure.
Gozo
The archipelago's second-largest island with a more peaceful, rural atmosphere. The ancient Ġgantija temples are older than the Egyptian pyramids; the Citadel of Victoria, salt pans, and picturesque diving bays. You can get there from Malta by ferry in 25 minutes.
When to go
The Maltese beach season runs from May to October with air temperatures of +25...+35 °C and water of +20...+27 °C. The best months for a holiday are June and September: pleasant heat, warm sea, and fewer tourists than in July-August. For sightseeing trips, March-May and October-November are ideal. The flight from Almaty to Malta takes about 8 hours with a connection in Istanbul or European cities.
