Spring and autumn are the best
times to visit Malta and Gozo. Conditions are perfect between
Easter and mid-June, when the weather is pleasantly warm, but
not too hot; beaches and resorts are relatively un crowded, and
accommodation is cheaper and easier to find than in the high
season (mid-June to end-August). Conditions are once more ideal
from the end of August until the end of November as the season
winds down.
