Malta,
a former British colony, lies in
the heart of the Mediterranean,
south of Sicily. Gozo and tiny
Comino provide a tranquil haven.
Greener, more rural and smaller
than Malta, life
on Gozo moves at a leisurely pace. The rhythms
dictated by the seasons, fishing
and agriculture. In winter and
spring, the Island is covered with
flowering herbs and lush crops.
In summer, it’s awash with
oleander, bougainvillea and geranium.
Its rugged landscape and spectacular
coastline await exploration. Choose
from ocky inlets to red sand beaches
or sail, snorkel, dive and fish.
Gozo has some of the Mediterranean’s
best dive sites.
Gozo comes complete with historical
sites, forts and amazing panoramas.
Thought to be the legendary Calypso’s
isle of Homer’s Odyssey,
it’s a peaceful, mystical
backwater. Baroque churches and
old stone farmhouses dot the countryside.
Key towns include Victoria, Mgarr
and Sannat.
