As a military family, we have traveled to many amazing places during the last 8 years. When we were stationed in Germany, we visited 10 other countries.
Malta was one of my favorites!
If you ever have the chance, I highly recommend visiting Malta. It isn’t too busy and you can get there quickly if you are already visiting or stationed in Europe.
Malta is a beautiful island off the coast of Italy in the Mediterranean Sea. It has breathtaking views and an old-world charm. You can spend your vacation at the beach or walking around the island.
Malta has mild weather. The average temperature is 73 degrees, so you can plan on dining outdoors during your vacation.
We traveled to Malta right before Christmas when this Italian island was decorated for the holiday season. Wearing only light sweaters, we walked through the cobblestone streets and enjoyed looking at the old buildings as well as the town center. We walked to a vista for a beautiful view of the city and the sea. There was nothing like it.
Club Salina Wharf in Qawra, Malta, is one of the Armed Forces Vacation Club resorts. They have a variety of rooms such as studios, 1- or 2-bedroom units, and kitchen facilities. They also have a pool and restaurants on-site to enjoy. The resort is only a 2-minute walk from the sea. What a great way to spend your R&R or family vacation.
You can take lessons at a diving school or participate in other water sports. Nearby you will find nightclubs, restaurants, activities for the kids, a seaside promenade, shops, and even a casino.
If Europe is out of reach for your family this summer, there is a long list of places you can visit in the United States through the Armed Forces Vacation Club.
