Best Time to Visit Malta for Cheaper Prices
If you’re on a budget, you should consider visiting Malta between November and March, when accommodation is cheaper and there are fewer tourists. The summer months tend to be more crowded and expensive, but definitely the best time to be on the island if you want to enjoy the sea. For a good balance of lower prices and nice weather, visit in May, or October.
