Is cash still needed in Malta or did the island completely transition to credit cards?

I'm going to visit Malta in April. Should I withdraw some Euros from the ATM for this trip or did Malta completely transition to using credit cards by now? By "credit cards" I'm referring to payment cards issued by Visa/Mastercard.
