Bursting at the seams with history and archaeological treasures
Stand in awe among the massive boulders of the neolithic Ggantija Temples, built before the Egyptian pyramids or Stonehenge. Or stroll through Victoria’s ancient alleys, in the footsteps of knights and peasants that were here before you in times long gone by, yet you sense they might have only just disappeared around the corner.

Gozo after sunset – the relaxation continues!
For most of the year, life after dusk continues outdoors. Spend balmy summer nights on water’s edge, mingle with the locals outside their football club – and don’t miss the dazzling fireworks display of a village ‘festa’! On summer weekends, one of Europe’s finest outdoor clubs is a major crowd puller for the younger generation.

How to get around the island of Gozo
Calm traffic outside Victoria gives you ample opportunity to adapt to driving on the left. Explore Gozo in comfort by hire car, or visit its nooks and crannies by scooter or bike. Or make use of the convenience that comes with a chauffeur-driven hire car. Whether car, scooter or bicycle… our Front Desk will happily arrange your vehicle hire.

Shopping in Gozo
Rummage through small local stores or shop in one of Victoria’s modern outlets and malls. Watch Gozitan glassblowers at work in Crafts Village, or observe how an intricate piece of lace takes form - then take home a precious handmade souvenir for family or friends – or for yourself.

Down by the Mediterranean Sea
You are in Gozo because you love the sea… and Gozo will oblige, with popular bathing spots, hidden beaches, secret caves, and of course the clear blue Mediterranean Sea. Why not watch the island from the outside by pedal boat or wind-surfer? Then gaze at daylight turning to dusk, while sipping a gin & tonic in Xlendi Bay or the more mundane Marsalforn.
