Walking holidays in Malta & Gozo
Sunlit coastal paths, ancient history, and the simple pleasure of walking from one memorable spot to the next in good company: make Malta and Gozo your 2026/27 winter getaway.
A warming winter walking escape with a fascinating history
With around 300 days of sunshine a year, Malta and Gozo are made for getting outdoors. Winter daytime temperatures are typically 15–17°C, creating comfortable conditions for walking when much of Europe feels chilly.
Whether you’re following cliff-top trails, visiting charming harbour towns, or pausing for coffee in a quiet square, once the intense summer heat has eased, the islands are ideal for unhurried sightseeing and rewarding walks. A refreshing dip in the Mediterranean Sea is still on the cards, too, with the water remaining relatively mild thanks to the archipelago’s subtropical location off the north coast of Africa.
And then there’s Valletta: Malta’s capital is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, packed with extraordinary architecture and centuries of history. With more historic sights per square mile than any other European capital, it’s perfect for exploring on foot.
Expect a rewarding mix of rugged coastal walks, colourful villages, and story-rich history, plus plenty of chances to stop, take photos, and enjoy shared experiences together as part of a like‑minded walking group.
