Things to Do  

Peek through the Azure Window

Peek through the Azure Window, Gozo

 Aunt_Bertha Says:  The Azure Window is a natural, delicate arch near Dwejra Bay. This fantastic scenery was created thousands of years ago when two limestone caves collapsed. The area is popular among scuba divers and it's also a famous cliff diving spot although the latter is illegal, since... 

Victoria/ Rabat

Victoria/ Rabat, Gozo

 Turska Says:  My tip is quite poor.. We noticed that when visiting the island with hop on hop off, it was quite slow thing to do compared to if we would have had a car.So we had so little time in Victoria, witch was our last stop, that we saw onlt the centre. It is very small, but I would... 

Calypso cave

Calypso cave, Gozo

 Turska Says:  My guidebook said, that this place isn´t worth of visiting, it´s just a cave, and not even interesting looking. The hop on hop off bus stopped there anyway. My husband stayed in the bus, and I went there with the other tourists. There were poor little hole to get in the... 

Ta' Dbiegi Crafts Village

Ta' Dbiegi Crafts Village, Gozo

 Turska Says:  It was one stop at hop on hop off- bus tour. It was march, so some of the shops were closed. There were handmade jewellery, leather works, glas, paintings, woodgrafts, clothes, pottery...Prices were higher than in tourist shops usually, and my guidebook says, that these... 

Ta Pinu Basilica

Ta Pinu Basilica, Gozo

 Turska Says:  Beautyful ornaments at the basilica. I think we would have missed this, if we would have been here by car. We usually think that chuches are nicer outside than inside. Expesially at Catholic countries, where churches are usually much too decorative with too much colors and... 

The Ġgantija Temples

The Ġgantija Temples, Gozo

 Turska Says:  Worlds oldest man built buildings dating to between 3600 BC and 3200 BC.It was interesting to see these, but it was little disapointing not to get inside the temples. At all guidebooks the photos have been taken from inside, so I guess those gates haven¢¥t been here for so... 

The Azure Window

The Azure Window, Gozo

 Turska Says:  Also called the Blue window. In wintertime (witch last until middle of June in Malta (!!!!?) it´s not easy to visit this without rented car, or using tourist-buses, like hop on hop off. At the time we went (March 2011) the road was being fixed up, and the buses couldn´t go... 

Ta ' Pinu Basilica.

Ta '  Pinu  Basilica., Gozo

 Maurizioago Says:  Ta' Pinu basilica is a national shrine and a center of pilgrimages.On the spot of this big church there was a chapel in the 16th century.It is said that on june 22 1883, a peasant woman heard the voice of the Madonna in this place. They say that numerous miracles happened... 

The Citadel.

The  Citadel., Gozo

 Maurizioago Says:  The Citadel is a huge fortress situated on a hill in Victoria. Until 1637 the people of Gozo were required by law to spend their nights within the Citadel's walls. This was due to the frequent Turkish assaults on the island.Inside the Citadel there is the Cathedral; built...

Rizzles: Local fastfood, Gozo

 Turska Says:  There was also pizza, lasagne etc, but they seemed like they would have been on the window far too long. Pastizzi looked good, and since we hadn´t tasted them yet, we took three per person, because it was 0,25e per each, and we hadn´t eat anything for last 10 hours, and the... 

Ta'Nona Bar and Snack Bar in Xlendi

Ta'Nona Bar and Snack Bar in Xlendi, Gozo

 yumyum Says:  We chose to have lunch on our day trip to Gozo here as we could sit on the outdoor terrace right by the sea. Inside the Ta'Nona is a small but cozy bar and the toilet was very clean at lunch time. Both bar and toilet have funny decorations.Service was very attentive and...

Piùtrentanove Lounge Bar: Gozo by night, Gozo

 Star1515 Says:  Summer 2010! How can I forget that World Cup "Vive Espana!! :)"and of course my last holiday in the beautiful Isle of Gozo!!! Time went by so quickly between Ramla Bay beach during the day and the town of Marsalforn at night! Marsalforn cannot be compared to the crazy caos... 

Transportation  

Hop on hop off

Hop on hop off, Gozo

 Turska Says:  We usually hate this kind of tours, but in Gozo it was an good idea. The local buses didn´t run so often, and some of them didn´t drive at March at all. So this was easiest way to see the island, after we decided not to rent a car. Maybe at Gozo it would have been easy to... 

Gozo-Airport Bus Shuttle Service

Gozo-Airport Bus Shuttle Service, Gozo

 Xemx Says:  If you're arriving by plane and going straight to Gozo, a bus shuttle service is now available from Malta International Airport to Cirkewwa where you can board the ferry to Gozo. As this is a new service, initially there will only be eight return trips and run during the... 

BE IN GOZO ISLAND IN 15 MINS

BE IN GOZO ISLAND IN 15 MINS, Gozo

 ROCKARIA Says:  The ideal way to travel to the sister Island of Gozo is from Cirkewwa Harbor in the north part of MALTA by Ferry and only a 15 min crossing time.It will cost you only about 4 Euros each passenger and if you take the car its about 13 Euros including the driver.....not bad for... 

All Buses Lead to Victoria!

All Buses Lead to Victoria!, Gozo

 Xemx Says:  The best way to see Gozo is definitely by car and not by bus...at least, that's what I think! The traffic may be rather chaotic in the capital, Victoria, but it's nowhere near what it's like in Malta and once you get out into the open spaces it is pleasant driving. If you...

Beautiful Gozo

SpagBoll profile photo

 We've been going to Gozo for a number of years now and generally try to get over at least once a year. We love it. The people, the pace of life, the scenery, the food.
