What to bring to Malta: highlighted

Highlighted items:

Documents: passport that is valid for at least six months. An online and/or offline copy of your passport is always useful.
Money: you probably won't need much cash because you can pay with a card everywhere (so take one with you!), but some euros in your pocket will come in handy.
Care: sunscreen, also for the winter, because there are few places to hide from the sun.
Outdoor and handy items: good sunglasses and a cap or hat.
Clothing: light clothing for the summer and slightly warmer clothing for the winter. Layers are useful if you go hiking.
Shoes: sandals/slippers for the beach and good hiking boots if you want to explore the interior.
Medicines and travel pharmacy: basic necessities such as plasters, desinfectant, for yourself, but pharmacies can be found everywhere.
Technology and equipment: world plug type G.

What else can you bring:

Reusable water bottle with filter, because tap water is technically drinkable, but often tastes strange.
Umbrella that can withstand a strong wind (especially if you go in the winter).
Rain gear if you go outside the summer months.
Snorkel set, because it is one of the most beautiful places in Europe to snorkel.

There are mosquitoes in the warm months. They are not dangerous, but they are annoying, especially in the evening.
So it is useful to bring some mosquito spray or covering clothing if you do not want to be covered in bumps.

There are quite a few sand flies in Malta from May to October, outside of that you will hardly encounter them. They are most active during sunrise and sunset.
They are not really dangerous for humans, but dogs often experience problems with them.

DEET and other mosquito repellents are easy to get in Malta. For example in a pharmacy or large supermarket.

There are supermarkets such as Welbee's, Lidl and Greens.
There are also local mini-shops where you can often get products for reasonable prices.
There are plenty of restaurants.
There is not much street food, but popular snacks such as pastizzi can sometimes be found.
