Arne and Tim from the website 60seconds.travel spent one Week in Malta in Spring 2016. Pretty much the best time to be around: Not too hot and a good opportunity to escape the from the temperatures in central Europe that you get in Months like March or April. Their recommendations in order of appearance:
1. Malta’s capital Valletta is best explored April-June or September/October, when the temperatures are moderate, crowds are fewer and prices lower.
2. The Dingli Cliffs (Siggiewi) are situated at the southwestern coast nearby the small village Dingli and are best reached by car or a scooter.
