Beware, the law prohibits smoking in public areas. Hotels, lounges and restaurants are non-smoking areas and increasingly, hotel clients are requested not to smoke in the rooms. Meanwhile, it is still possible to smoke in bars and at outside tables in restaurants.
In Malta, it is usual to dress up for dinner. Avoid shorts and beach wear when going for meals. In churches, you must cover your shoulders and men should not enter in shorts. On the beaches, nudism and monokinis are prohibited. Be careful, lawbreakers will be fined.
