Gozo

Gozo is another island of the Maltese archipelago. The island is a very famous destination for fishing, angling and boating.

 

The island is mentioned in Homers Ogygia, as a home of the nymph Calypso who holds in capture Odysseus for seven years. Knowing well the book and the story this island has always fascinated me, particularly by its rich historical heritage and unique nature.

The best way to reach Gozo is by ferry from Cirkewwa, the northernmost end of Malta.

 

 

 

The distance to Mgarr harbor is about 25 min, enough time to enjoy the sea and the spectacular views to the third Maltese island Comino.

 

Yacht marina located in Mgarr.

Mgarr is a small picturesque town.

We chose the city as a starting point to explore Gozo. Our first stop is Victoria, the capital of Gozo. The best attraction here is the Citadel, a castle known since ancient times.

 Very close to Victoria is Xlendi Bay, one of our favorite place in Gozo.

  

 

Gozo has many catholic churches and the Rotunda of Xewkija is one of the most beautiful.

 

Located in a valley, the church can be seen from a distance. We admire its splendor and grandeur.

  In Gozo we got a tone of amazing pictures.

 

 

On the northeast part of Gozo is a fertile valley and several hill rocks.

 

 

On the top of one of them is a huge statue of the Christ the Saviour.

 

Going to the northern part of the island is the popular Marsalforn Bay. According to the legend from this place Saint Paul continued his journey to Sicily and later Rome. The village is one of the best tourist destinations in Gozo and offers a huge number of hotels, restaurants and bars.

Gozo has several beaches and the most popular is the Ramla Bay. Close to it is the Calypso Cave.

Another well-known archaeological treasure here is the megalithic Ggantija temples, one of the oldest structures in the world.

Gozo is a very interesting island. Its impressive natural beauty and rich history make the island a popular tourist destination, a place not to be missed.
