Discovering<br />

Gozo<br />

<strong>Malta</strong>’s Sister Island<br />

After a twenty minute crossing, on setting<br />

foot in Gozo you will notice that although<br />

both islands are similar in history and<br />

development, Gozo has a character entirely<br />

of its own. Gozo, which is a three hilled<br />

island, is greener and more picturesque than<br />

<strong>Malta</strong>.<br />

First stop is The Ggantija Temples that stand at the end of the Xaghra<br />

plateau, facing towards the south-east. This megalithic monument is<br />

in fact two temples, built side by side and enclosed with a boundary<br />

wall. The southerly one is the larger and elder, dating back to<br />

approximately 3600 BC. It is also better preserved.<br />

The second stop is Calypso’s Cave, is said to be the cave where<br />

Ulysseys was kept as a love prisoner for seven years by the nymph<br />

Calypso in the story of Homer’s Odyssey. Calypso’s cave lies near the<br />

stunning beach of Ramla Bay; the view is magnificent!<br />

You will then drive to Xlendi Bay, a popular beach and an ideal diving<br />

site. Xlendi is a typical Gozitan fishing village and harbours a number<br />

of fishing vessels. The next visit is The Citadella, a historic fortified<br />

city which lies in the heart of Victoria. The Citadella, also called as The<br />

Citadel, is on <strong>Malta</strong>’s tentative list of future World Heritage Sites by<br />

UNESCO, who describes it as a small fortified town. An old prison is<br />

located within the city, as are the Courts of Justice.<br />

After this visit you will stop for lunch in a restaurant in Rabat.<br />

Afterwards you will visit Ta’ Pinu Basilica, a Roman Catholic Parish<br />

Church located 700 metres away from the village of Gharb and<br />

allows visitors to enjoy beautiful views of the area. After visiting this<br />

church, which is dedicated to Blessed Virgin of Ta’ Pinu, you will also<br />

visit The Azure Window, a natural arch featuring a table-like rock<br />

over the sea. It is situated near two other famous landmarks – The<br />

Inland Sea & Dwejra Bay. Finally you will drive to Mgarr Port via Qala<br />

Belvedere where breathtaking scenes can be enjoyed.<br />
