<strong>Gozo</strong><br />

Blend the history<br />

and the myth with<br />

green landscapes<br />

The small island of <strong>Gozo</strong> is full of myth.<br />

In Homer’s epic poem, the Odissey, the hero<br />

Ulysses was held in the island of Ogygia by<br />

the nymph Calypso for seven years. Some<br />

interpretations say that the Ogygia Island<br />

is in fact <strong>Gozo</strong>!<br />

But not everything is myth; <strong>Gozo</strong> has had<br />

settlements since 5,000 B.C. the ruins and<br />

historical sites that can be seen now made<br />

this island a paradise for history lovers.<br />

One of the colonizers of the island, the<br />

Castilians, gave <strong>Gozo</strong> its current name,<br />

which means "JOY". Blend the history and<br />

the myth with green landscapes, a relaxed<br />

rural environment, the beach, the sun and<br />

the warm hospitality of the Gozitans and<br />

the result is an unforgettable experience<br />

and a holiday destination to return to year<br />

after year.<br />

<strong>Concorde</strong> <strong>Travel</strong> offers a selection of great<br />

hotels and self catering villas.<br />
