| Gozo The island is a 12km by 7 km paradise and is about one third the size of Malta. It is greener and much quieter. It is very unspoiled, still having picturesque fishing villages, rolling green hills and valleys and lots of small rocky and sandy beaches. In Gozo you will find all this added to the warm hospitality of the Gozitan people - the friendliest in the Mediterranean. In winter and spring, the Island is covered with flowering herbs and lush crops. In summer, it’s awash with oleander, bougainvillea and geranium. Gozo with its slow pace of life is a walker's paradise with delightful and varied scenery. You will enjoy exploring its richly cultivated landscape, and breathtaking cliff scenery. It offers magnificent coastal paths with breathtaking views, turquoise seas, and colourful fishing villages, and its flat-topped hills and fertile valleys give its countryside an unusual charm. There is a wealth of history to explore at every turn, and an ancient Citadel built by the Knights of St. John overlooks the whole island. |
