Malta?

Has anyone here been to Malta? I'm planning a month long tour next April/May of Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica and a little bit of Tuscany, and I just figured out that for the price of airfare to Catania, Sicily, I can fly to Malta and catch a catamaran ferry to Catania. I'm just wondering if 2+ days in Malta (arrive midday Wed., leave at dawn on Saturday) would be a good start to the trip, or if I should just start the trip in Catania.

Any thoughts, please?

Hi
I have been to Malta twice but not on my bicycle. The people are very friendly and everyone speaks good english.

They are now a member of the EU but don't use the euro yet. I think the euro is coming in a year or two.

Definitely worth a visit if you have the chance.

Its pretty hot there in the summer!!!

Regards

Malta is very tiny. Around 16 miles long. Two days should be plenty time to see it.
