 The Citadel in Victoria. by Maurizioago
I visited the Citadel in Victoria. This is the main town of this island. I stayed into this fortress at least two hours.
Inside the Citadel there is the Cathedral (1697-1711), three interesting museums; some shops and cafes.
I wanted to see some other nice places on this island, but unfortunately buses in Gozo are not as frequent as in Malta.
Well, after having visited the Citadel I caught a bus to Nadur. This is an ordinary village with no restaurants and some bad looking bars. From there I walked to the harbour.
When I arrived there I ate an hamburger; had a drink and I came back to Malta early in the afternoon.
If you want to go to Gozo; plan your trip carefully and ask for the timetables at the main bus station in Victoria. Visit the Citadel in the afternoon. Leave a Comment

Marsaxlokk is a nice fishing village located in the south-eastern side of Malta.
Its name means "south-east harbour". Marsa = harbour; xlokk = south -east.
This is the right place to have a good lunch. There is a big choice of restaurants there. In Marsaxlokk you can also see a lot of luzzus. These are traditional bright colored fishing boats. Leave a Comment

The trip lasts about twenty minutes.
Unfortunately I hadn't the opportunity to take some good pics of the blue sea I saw. My camera didn't work properly. Leave a Comment

The Buskett is overlooked by the Verdala Castle. This mansion was built by the Grand Master de Verdalle as his summer house.
This wood is located about two km. from Rabat.

 Victoria, Rabat - Gozo by Zlur
'The Hollywood version of the Trojan war, expected to be a Blockbuster in international Box Offices, starring Brad Pitt and filmed in Malta is expected to stir interest in Malta as a luxury Holiday resort.
Pitt, who spent time in Malta while shooting the film, where he plays Achilles, the Classical Greek Hero, spoke highly of Malta in prestigious interviews. The star and his wife, fellow actress Jennifer Aniston have been reported as visiting the island of Gozo, where the Troy was filmed.
Visitor numbers to Gozo have leapt nearly 30% in the last six months, pushing Malta/Gozo in to the fifth place in the top 10 villa holiday destinations table compiled by the Meon Villas holiday company.'
So there you have it, if our jewel in the Meditteranean - Malta is good enough for the celebrities, then what are you waiting for? :) Visit, fall in love and thank me later. Leave a Comment
