Gozo - Malta's Sister Island

While Gozo is greener, more rural and smaller than Malta, this little island has plenty of sights and attractions to keep visitors occupied.

Most of the island is gently rolling hills with ancient villages, baroque churches and historic sites leading down to protected beaches with amazing panoramas.

The centre of everyday activity on the island is Victoria (also known as Rabat) - a fortified medieval city. The Citadel is  visible from almost all over the island, rising steeply above the surrounding countryside

Gozo is home to the most important and best-preserved archaeological site of the Maltese Islands - the Ggantija Temples dating back to around 3500 BC.

Those who enjoy outdoor activities will love the walking opportunities available in Gozo. The beautiful coastline has a number of cliff top walks. Those who prefer to relax can make the most of Gozo’s luxury five star spas.

A favourite beach is at Ramla Bay. This beach has wide, sandy shores and gentle waters that are safe for swimming.

The Island of Gozo is accessible by ferry from Cirkewwa on the Island of Malta. Gozo also possesses a full cultural calendar all of its own, with some great dining out.

Comino

Situated between Malta and Gozo, the smaller island of Comino is a paradise for snorkelers, divers and hikers, offering the ultimate in solitude and views.  It is only 2.5km by 1.5km in size, is car-free and apart from one hotel, is virtually uninhabited.

The island's main attraction is the Blue Lagoon (see below). In summer, this sheltered inlet of shimmering aquamarine water over white sand is very popular with day-trippers. Comino is also worth a visit in winter, and is ideal for walkers and photographers. With no urban areas or cars on the island, one can easily smell the scent of wild thyme and other herbs.
