Adventure by land

It’s fair to say that Gozo has some of the most outstanding scenic walks you could possibly imagine. With breathtaking cliff top views that are hugged by azure blue waters, it’s not hard to find a great walk that’ll have you itching to see what’s around the next corner.

One of our favourite Gozo walks is right on our doorstep! Simply head from our dive shop out towards the end of the bay and you’ll see the tower, you can follow the footpath and singletrack towards the tower and simply follow the coastline where you’ll be greeted with some of the best views Gozo has to offer.

If you’re feeling a little more adventurous then head north towards Wied Il Mielah where you’ll find yourself in the true wilds of Gozo. You can either head deeper into nature by taking a left turn at the window or alternatively turn right and head towards Marsalforn passing Wied il Ghasri and the salt pans.

If hiking in Gozo isn’t your bag then why not consider renting one of many unique vehicles available on the island. From beach buggies to unique electric two seater cars, the options for having a great time, driving something unique and taking in the awesome sights are pretty endless.

Don’t feel like driving? Then why not consider taking a jeep tour or bus tour around Gozo where a driver can inform you of the history and culture that relates to each unique site whilst you sit back and enjoy the ride.

Culture Vulture

Gozo’s culture and history is incredibly rich and also undeniably interesting! There’s a whole variety of unique places that are seriously worth a visit!

The Citadella in Gozo is one of the most prominent and iconic historical visitor centres in Malta. Built in 1500 BC (First fortifications) it’s the perfect place to spend the day taking in the unique sites and learning about the history. Inside the fortifications you’ll find an exceptional 3D projection that details the trials and tribulations of the island’s past as well as a natural history museum, an old prison museum, a museum of archeology and Gozo Cathedral. It can easily take a whole day to see all the Citadella has to offer so be sure to get there early!

Fancy something even more ancient? How about an Unesco world heritage site? Then head to Ggantija temples that date back to the Neolithic ages. The museum inside contains a whole host of ancient finds and both the museum and temples themselves are truly fascinating!

Other noteworthy cultural icons worth visiting include Ta Pinu church of miracles and Xewkija rotunda, the third largest rotunda in Europe that offers an unspoiled view over the entire island.

Of course if none of the above tickle your fancy then floating around in the sea on a lilo whilst sipping a cocktail is always an option.
