Apartments for Sale in Malta

Apartments for Sale in MaltaCouple friends of mine decided to sell their apartments, mainly because their respective families are getting bigger and need more space to live in. So here I am, trying to help everyone out by listing apartments for sale in Malta directly from owners.

Both apartments have been recently built and are fully furnished as you can imagine, since my friends are still living in them. The two bedroom apartment is situated just off the main Tourists Street in Bugibba and the three bedroom apartment is located in a quiet area in Mellieha, yet still very close to the centre of the village too.

Weather in Malta in January

Malta Weather in January & Kite SurfingBeing a winter month, January’s weather in Malta can be a real mix of sunshine, cloud, rain and some strong winds. Strong winds usually blow for two to three days at a time, and can feel bitingly cold, especially on cloudy days and at night. Sometimes these winds can be harsh and can reach force 7 or 8. When rain falls, however, it’s not often for the whole day, usually falling in showers in either the morning or afternoon. Although a Mediterranean country, don’t expect sunbathing conditions if you visit in January; the conditions though, are ideal for walking, sightseeing or an activity holiday, as on most days, the sun will make an appearance at some point, averaging 5.5 hours per day.
