Explore Gozo

The Island of Gozo may be small but there is a lot to see and do. The charm of the island makes itself apparent as soon as you arrive.

Villages in Gozo reflect a way of life that is both rural and refined, from superbly proportioned squares and carved balconies to old traditional farmhouses with their typical archways to the most contemporary houses, there is an amazing amount of creative architectural detail. You'll find balconies embellished with balustrades, Georgian style facades, and a generous amount of floral color everywhere in flowerpots, roof gardens and ubiquitous bougainvillea. Gozitan architects and stonemasons have, over the years, laboriously built churches with domes whose stunning dimensions dwarf the villages in which they stand.

Gozo has an unmistakable air of tranquility even in the busy market street of its capital, Victoria, and in the harbors, when the daily catches of fresh fish are unloaded on the quays. Gozo's landscape is rural with deep valleys and hilltop villages, with a rugged coastline ready to be explored. There are sand and smooth rocky beaches for relaxation, and clear safe waters for swimming

Green hills and fertile valleys separate one village from the other. Wherever you look, the sea is always within the reach of the eye. In fact, Gozo has an amazing coastline with its tiny creeks, sand beaches, blue sea, majestic rock formations and protruding watchtowers.
