The Maltese are incredibly friendly (especially towards the British), and love to try out their language skills - most Maltese of the more recent generations seem to be able to speak several languages to a very competent level in my experience.
The Island is small, and you can easily see all the sights in a relatively short time, but Malta for me is a place to relax and reflect with family or friends.
The rocky terrain and local architecture make an interesting backdrop to your Maltese holiday where you will be treated to great hospitality and some great food. Malta is located between Italy and North Africa, and the clash of these two cultures is evident in the language and the food. Driving has always been a challenge is Malta and only drivers who are up for the challenge should attempt it.... Car hire is cheap and plentiful, as are dinks, dents and prangs...
In general, I think most people will find something they love about Malta (I liked it enough to get married there). Be warned though.. Malta used to very low crime statistics, this is becoming less so as criminal migrants looking for a route into Europe have been known to target tourists and their hire cars.
Sea-food is naturally very good on Malta and it's sister island Gozo, rabbit stew is also a local specialty - don't be surprised to find the skull left in the dish just to prove that you are actually eating rabbit!!
