Gozo: A Green Gem of the Mediterranean You Shouldn’t Miss
Escape the hustle and bustle of Malta and discover the enchanting island of Gozo, a three-hilled haven brimming with a unique charm and a distinctly greener landscape. This isn’t just another island hop; it’s a journey back in time, a feast for the eyes, and an immersion into a gentler pace of life. Gozo promises a memorable day trip, packed with historical wonders, breathtaking scenery, and the chance to connect with local culture.
Unearthing Ancient Wonders
Our adventure begins with a visit to the Ggantija Temples, a UNESCO World Heritage site that will leave you in awe. These Neolithic marvels, predating even the pyramids of Egypt, stand as silent witnesses to an ancient civilization and offer a tangible link to humanity’s distant past. Prepare to be transported to a time long gone as you explore these impressive megalithic structures.
Coastal Delights & Local Flavors
Next, we’ll hop aboard a whimsical trackless train, offering a unique and relaxed way to explore the island’s coastal treasures. We’ll journey past the distinctive salt pans, a testament to Gozo’s traditional industries, and soak in the panoramic views of picturesque bays like Qbajjar. Take your time to appreciate the rugged coastline and the crystal-clear waters. We’ll also allow time to browse through local craft shops, where you can find authentic Gozitan souvenirs and treasures. The iconic beauty of Dwejra Bay, with its stunning geological formations and breathtaking vistas, is another highlight you won’t want to miss. This picturesque landscape offers unforgettable photo opportunities.
Exploring Victoria: A City with Royal Roots
Our day wouldn’t be complete without a visit to Victoria, Gozo’s capital city. Your guided tour will unveil the history and significance of this captivating urban center. Interestingly, the city’s name was bestowed in 1897 by the British government in honour of Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee, a request made by the Bishop of Malta, Mons. Sir Pietro Pace. Explore its historic streets, learn about its past, and absorb the unique ambiance. A break for lunch allows you to savor the local cuisine at your own pace, offering a chance to sample the delightful flavors of Gozo.
