Of course you're hoping to chance at least a few of those famous 300 days of sunshine. But rainy days can still spell lots of opportunity to enjoy indoor activities that will make you more than happy and completely forget about the weather.

Malta may be largely marketed as a sea and sun destination, but it is really much more than that. We suspect the authorities intentionally keep that a secret to offer the locals some respite from the massive crowds of visitors at least for a few months a year. There’s more than enough to enjoy a perfect winter break in Malta. There are also plenty of family-friendly things to do when visiting with the kids during a school break.

See! We've got you covered.
