This is why Malta is my holiday destination of choice. There's only one "clubbing" town, really, which is St Juliens, and "Club 18 - 30" don't go to Malta. The young Maltese are, mainly, boringly well-behaved and polite and can't stay out 'til the early hours of Sunday mornings 'cause they have to go to Mass at 9 o clock - their grandmas insist! - so there aren't that many clubs compared to a lot of places.
To be honest, I've often stayed in Ayiah Napa, Cyprus, and on various Greek islands, including Crete and Zakynthos, and the problems tend to be concentrated in very small areas and individual towns. I don't stay in down-market hotels, don't go to night clubs and there's not much trouble during the day because the prats are all asleep.
I only cringe at the airport when the undesirables are travelling.
