Gozo Adventure

Many people refer to Gozo as “what Malta used to be like”: A rural area where time just seems to pass a little slower than in most other places. However, there are many things to do on Gozo. It could be in the sea.it could be in times of old, it could be in today’s times, it could be a maddening crowd having fun at a local event, it could be? Gozo is a masterpiece wrought by nature and shaped by thousands of years of culture. Myth and reality meet here on what is believed to have been the Isle of Calypso in Homer’s Odyssey, and Odysseus was an adventurer.

For Walking

Walk the walk, and if with more, then talk the talk too. The walks can be hours long travelling the coast with its high cliffs, or the walkways that lead to a swimming place, or through fields with fruit and tress, a village, and down the valley to a once old fishermen's village where you can sit down enjoy the view and eat.

The blues calls you

It's the Sea

The sea around Gozo with its deep blues are enchanting and call you to it. Is it a nice swim, resting in the sand or on the rocks, is it the deep that takes your fancy with scuba diving the blue hole or a sunken boat, or airplane, a boat ride, or maybe just to gaze upon it with a drink in hand is perfect. Its your call, the sea awaits you.

The sounds and colours of

Bustling Events

Enjoy a traditional Maltese/Gozitan village feast, or take in an exhibition, or a music concert, among other arranged happenings of interest.

The Knights of Malta

The picturesque capital of Gozo, Victoria (called Rabat in Maltese), has been sitting atop its mighty hill since Neolithic times, and is located in the center of the island. The Citadella is the main attraction in Victoria. This fortified city was recently fully renovated, and offers a great 360° view over the surrounding countryside, villages, the sea and up to Malta. The view from the ramparts is really more than worth it!

The Legend of

Fungus Rock

Fungus Rock is located at the entrance of Dwejra bay. The legend says Knights Hospitaller discovered a special kind of fungus on this rock. Believed to have incredible medicinal properties, only nobles could benefit from the fungus. Such a precious plant had to be protected, so access to the rock was restricted.
