Malta

These uninformative posts are the worst.  The point of this is to help others with expectations when visiting a place.  Why didn’t you like it?  Did you visit on a cruise or stay longer?[/quote]

I am the OP who said Malta. At the time, I was living and working in Europe and went with some girlfriends for a 4-day vacation.

It was awful. We stayed at the nicest hotel advertised (we're all professionals and traveled together regularly), and it was old and rundown. The food was terrible, which was disappointing. The seafood should have been spectacular.

Relaxing by the pool wasn't relaxing because the upkeep and amenities were non existent and pool was unkempt.

No nightlife. We went to a bingo hall for amusement (we were all under 40).

Nothing terribly interesting to see and we toured all over the island. I can usually find some silver lining and none to be had here.

Wouldn't even recommend it as a port of call on a cruise for a couple of hours.[/quote]

When were you there? [/quote]

That's too bad. For some reason Malta seems so exotic and crusader-like, and hard to be a citizen of. I guess I just romanticize it a bit because of the crusades and the italian influence. too bad. Cross it off the list. What about Gibralter?[/quote]

Yes, this is exactly what we thought and were so disappointed. When you look at things to do in Malta now, it's mostly sailing opportunities, Viator is full of sailing tours.

I've been to Istanbul and that was amazing from a historical perspective. I felt like I was literally in my old history books with the Ottoman Empire. There was not a similar feel in Malta. I've since learned that Malta is very conservative, which makes more sense.

I have friends living in Gibraltar with small kids and they love it. It's on our list.
