Driving to Malta by ChrisandrachelHolland
Dear Friends, What is the recommended route to drive a car from the UK to Malta? and, what are the hidden costs? Best regards Chris and Rachel
I have just checked ferry connections, as I was also thinking about driving down to Malta this summer (but from Austria - not the UK). As an alternative to the Virtu Ferries connection from Pozzallo (Sicily) - which is rather expensive - Grimaldi ... Read More

considering Malta? here's my honest recap after 5+ years by scareglow
Every experience is different of course, but after 5+ years and knowing a lot of expats from all over the world this is what you have to expect: - expect racism if you're from Scandinavia or look Scandinavian. The locals tend to blame rising ...
I agree with most of what's been said above. A few comments I'd like to add: I personally don't find driving in Malta that bad - I mean, there are lots of bad drivers, but it's not war... I'd say it's the same as in ... Read More

Rural Malta by KatPras
Hi, We are visiting Malta this summer with a view to move there permanently in the near future. We would love to visit small villages and rural areas while we are there. Could anyone please suggest any places we should look at? Thank you. ...
On Malta I'd suggest looking into the south around Siggiewi or Zurrieq, or north west, e.g. Manikata, or maybe around Mgarr. I must say though that I know these areas just from hiking trips or visits as a tourist, I've lived in Mellieha and ... Read More

Hello, My husband and I moving to Malta em Feb and we are planning to drive there with our 2 years-old boy. We will obsviously stop for sightseeing and we think will be impossible to do it straight with a toddler.... Has anyone done this trip ...

I was considering taking up employment in Malta, working around Gzira, and hopefully living close enough that I could commute by bicycle (I've been able to cycle around Sliema no problems when I visited.. certainly safer than cycling in ...
BTW, I just found the blog by the ex-expat I mentioned above (the one from Scotland): https://ourmaltamove.wordpress.com/ I really wholeheartedly advise you to check it out... About pollution, she writes: "Breathing in fumes and dust ... Read More

Sorry I can't help with a suggestion for a place to live, either... as Ray said further up, the only way to find a place that suits you is to come look for yourself... Your posts remind me a bit of an ex-member of this site who attempted to ... Read More
