Gozo & Comino

Gozo

Gozo provides a tranquil retreat for those looking for peace and quiet. Malta’s sister island is more rural and greener, blessed with a landscape that is both unique and picturesque. The island is only 14.5 km long and 8 km wide. Life in Gozo is quieter then in Malta and many Gozitians earn their livings from fishing and farming.

Besides the beautiful scenery Gozo has much more to offer. There are numerous historical sites, old fishing villages and open flea markets to visit. The coast is filled with sandy beaches and rocky inlets. Fresh fish is a speciality served by many good restaurants, especially those at the fishing ports of Mġarr and Marsalforn. There are several award-winning restaurants to choose from, many of which provide picturesque views of the sea and countryside.

For those who are more adventurous, Gozo offers rugged landscape and a spectacular coastline. Trekking, walking, cycling and rock climbing are all great ways to explore the Island. The coastline and surrounding waters offer opportunities for sailing, windsurfing, snorkelling, fishing and diving. Gozo also has a calendar of events of its own, a healthy night life, a marina, several diving schools, and all other modern facilities.

The Gozo Ferry service carries passengers and cars between Malta and Gozo. The trip takes approximately 20 minutes. There is also a sea plan service from the Grand Harbour in Malta to the port of Mgarr in Gozo. For more information please visit the Transport section.
