Malta in December
December in Malta offers a refreshingly mild escape from colder climates, perfect for exploring its rich history and charming landscapes without the summer crowds. The islands truly shine with their ancient megalithic temples, like Ħaġar Qim and Mnajdra, which are particularly atmospheric under moody winter skies.
