About Gozo
Discover Gozo –
Malta’s Sister Island
Why Choose Gozo?
Welcome to Gozo – Malta’s serene sister island and a hidden gem in the heart of the Mediterranean. Known for its rustic charm, stunning landscapes, and rich cultural heritage, Gozo offers the perfect escape from the bustle of daily life. Whether you’re a local rediscovering its quiet beauty or a visitor eager to explore its traditions, Gozo invites you to slow down and enjoy life at a different pace.
Gozo is smaller and quieter than Malta, with a strong sense of community and unspoiled countryside. It’s famous for its picturesque valleys, cliffs, and rural trails, as well as its slower rhythm and welcoming atmosphere.
The Citadel (Cittadella), Victoria
Located in the heart of Gozo’s capital, the Citadel is a fortified city with panoramic views, museums, and winding alleyways rich with history. A must-see for history buffs and culture lovers.
Ta’ Pinu Basilica
A national shrine and pilgrimage site, this majestic church stands isolated in the countryside near Għarb. It’s admired by both locals and tourists for its architecture and spiritual significance.
Dwejra Bay
Famous for its dramatic coastline and the iconic (now-collapsed) Azure Window, Dwejra remains one of Gozo’s most breathtaking natural spots. Don’t miss the Inland Sea and the Blue Hole – perfect for swimming, diving, and photography.
Ramla Bay
Known for its unique red sand and surrounding hills, Ramla Bay is Gozo’s most popular beach and great for a day of sun and sea. Explore the nearby cave of Calypso, linked to Homer’s Odyssey.
Walking Trails & Countryside
Gozo is a hiker’s paradise, offering scenic trails through villages, cliffs, and valleys. Try the coastal walk from Xlendi to Sanap Cliffs or explore the hidden charms of Wied il-Għasri and Wied il-Mielaħ.
Traditional Fishing Villages
Marsalforn and Xlendi are beloved for their laid-back vibe, delicious seafood, and sunset views. They’re perfect for casual dining, boat tours, or a gentle evening stroll.
