We had a holiday there.............thirty years ago. It is a bleak rocky place so not very scenic. Having said that there are a lot of interesting buildings and a couple of prehistoric sites. Valetta is fascinating.
The people were amazingly friendly. Two examples stick in the mind. We asked an old lady for directions to the bus stop and she insisted on walking us to it: as we were queueing in a restaurant a couple of local men invited us to join them at their table. It may have changed since then but I doubt the basic good nature has changed much. Mind you they can be a bit niggly with one another, we were there during a election and there was general surprise that only one person had been shot dead by their opponents.
Finally there is some sort of tourism/cultural push this year which might make it a good time to visit.
