Introduction to Gozo

A Half Day or Full Day in Gozo gets you out of the hustle and into the open air. Upon meeting your driver and guide, you will proceed to Qala Belvedere, the village just east of the port. From here you’ll enjoy extraordinary views of the land and sea. Stop into Il-Madonna tal-Blat or Saint Mary of the Rocks and soak up the history of a parish that has served generations of sailors and fishermen. Up next is the cave made famous in Homer’s Odyssey. While sailing home to Ithaca, the hero is shipwrecked and held by the siren Calypso for seven years as a captive of love.  After the caves, you’ll drive over to the north coast and visit the Salt Pans, living examples of a Gozitan family tradition of producing sea salt. Once dry, it’s used to flavour food through the year. Dwejra’s hilltop setting is unbeatable and full of legends from the years of the Roman legions. Your last stop is inside the fortified Cittadella city walls. You’ll visit the central square, cathedral, courts and remnants of the French, Ottoman and English armies that occupied the watchtowers.
