Gozo holidays

Surrounded by sparkling sapphire waters, this dinky island is just a 25-minute ferry ride from Malta. Go-slow is Gozo’s vibe, so if it’s a relaxing, rural retreat you’re after, you’re in luck. Rolling hills tumble into wild beaches and teeny villages neighbour baroque churches. And just like Malta, you’ll find heaps of history, along with British nods, bright-red letter boxes included. Love food? You’re in for a treat, with just-plucked seafood an island speciality.

Heaps of history

For one small isle, Gozo packs in sights that spin a tale of its rich past. Let’s start with Victoria, the beautiful hilltop capital with a maze of honey-coloured medieval streets and centuries-old ramparts. Then there’s the megalithic temples at Ggantija that date back thousands of years and the beautiful towering churches that pepper Gozo’s countryside.

Charming coastline

Gozo is gorgeous, fact. Just look at its coastline and you’ll see what we mean, with its plunging cliffs, sweeping beaches and crystal-clear sea. Red-tinged Ramla Bay is one of the best for relaxing on soft sand, while Dwerja Bay’s the place to go if you love scuba diving – sea tunnels and caves await. Xlendi Bay’s aquamarine waters aren’t to be missed either.

Fabulous food

Beachside shacks, seafront fish restaurants, family-run bakeries, shady terraces – you’ll find them all here, so take your taste buds on a truly Gozitan adventure while on the island. Seafood, local produce and Italian-influenced dishes dominate menus, so expect to sample fish soup, handmade ravioli, rabbit stew, cheese platters and more. Nom.

When is the best time to visit Gozo?

The best time to visit Gozo is during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) months.
