Expert: Michelle Grech Date: 7/4/2008 Subject: Costs and Temperature
Question Hey Michelle... We are from South-Arica and will be visiting Malta from 27 Dec. to 9 Jan. I have just a couple of questions:
1) What is the costs of a Coca-Cola? (just so I can compare the prices)
2) What is the average temperature that time of the year?
3) Will it be warm enough to swim?
4) Are there any festivals that time of the year?
Thank You
Answer Hi
1 cost of a coca cola from a normal bar would be between Eur1 to Eur1.5
2. Average temperature would be around 15 degrees.
3. The water temp would have gone down to abour 18 degrees by then. some tourists do swim on a nice sunny day but the locals usually stop at the end of october/beg of november.
4. Since its christmas time most events would be religous and with a christmas / new year theme. festivals are usually more found in summer.
That time of year is great for sight seeing as it's not hot and you can visit all the temples, churches, and other places of interest. i wouldn't come for water sports at that time of year! We do have a winter contrary to what some people think that it's only sun sun sun.
