Explore the Cities and Towns of Gozo

Overview

The Island of Gozo is a hidden gem in the Maltese Archipelago which consists of 21 islands. Gozo combines natural wonders, historical treasures, and authentic Maltese culture in a compact, easily navigable island. Whether you’re seeking adventure, history, or a serene escape, Gozo promises an unforgettable experience that complements any visit to Malta. The island offers incredible natural beauty and key sites include:

Azure Window (Formerly): While the iconic limestone arch collapsed in 2017, its site at Dwejra Bay remains a stunning location with the nearby Blue Hole, a popular diving spot.
Ramla Bay: Known for its golden-red sand, this is one of the island’s most beautiful beaches.
Ta'Cenc Cliffs: These dramatic cliffs offer breathtaking views of the sea and are a haven for birdwatchers.
Inland Sea: A small lagoon connected to the sea by a natural rock tunnel, perfect for boat trips and diving.

Historical and Cultural Highlights

Ggantija Temples: These prehistoric temples, older than the Pyramids of Giza, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a testament to Gozo's ancient past.
Victoria (Rabat): The island’s capital is home to the Cittadella, a fortified city with panoramic views, museums, and historical sites.
Basilica of Ta'Pinu: A stunning pilgrimage site renowned for its beautiful architecture and spiritual significance.

Traditional Villages and Local Life

Gozo’s villages, such as Xlendi and Marsalforn, are charming and offer a glimpse into the island’s traditional lifestyle.
Local festivals, or festas, celebrate the island’s culture with fireworks, music, and processions.

Activities and Outdoor Adventures

Diving and Snorkeling: Gozo is known for its world-class diving sites, including underwater caves, reefs, and shipwrecks.
Hiking and Cycling: Trails around the island lead through stunning countryside and coastal paths.
Gastronomy: Enjoy local specialties like gbejna (Gozo cheese), fresh seafood, and pastizzi paired with Gozitan wine.

Peaceful Ambiance

Compared to the busier main island of Malta, Gozo is quieter and more rural, offering a peaceful retreat. Its slower pace makes it ideal for relaxation and exploration.

This company really knows their stuff and recommended our family to stay longer in each location. We didn't listen to them, but wished we had in every single place we went. They recommended Sestri Levante over the Cinque Terre which was our favourite destination on our entire trip. We visited Rome where we stayed in the outstanding Hotel Locorno where they know the owner there, like in every place ... [Read More]

They keep saying to spend more time and we could not agree more! You need to spend more ti ... [Read More]

In August 2018, my family of four and myself travelled from Vancouver, BC to Rome Italy and spent 3 weeks touring Italy with IVS.

You can tell while being in Italy that it is one complicated place to run tours in, just by the ... [Read More]

I have traveled to Italy 2x with the IVS for my own pleasure trips and 2x for business with IVS. These guys really pay attention and make your trip go like clockwork. Italy is nuts, just saying! There are so many rules and restrictions now, so we did not want to drive ourselves. Having traveled with them many times and done business on several occasions, most definitely USE this company. They k ... [Read More]
