The area benefits from long warm summers and short mild winters, that can sometimes be wet.
Gozo and the surrounding islands, are a place of natural beauty and serenity making a for a very relaxing holiday destination that may be visited all year round.
Indiana Jones would be at home here, with one the most important temples (from an architecture perspective) located here. The Ggantija Temples date back to Ggantija phase 3600 BC. Extensive restoration work has been carried out during the 20th Century and it should be on top of your list, for an educational and fun day out. One of the most striking features are the outer walls, that are built using the header and stretcher technique. Some blocks of the granite used, weigh over 5 ton and stretch over 5 meters.
Experience Maltese village life, by either a simple stroll in the country side, or rent a farmhouse and stay for a few days. If you choose the later option, you will need to book a hire car, as local transport will be limited at best.
"We make it cheaper to rent to your car, so book early through us, rather than book direct."
Give Gozo A Good Go
Start your drive at Mgarr Harbour, where the ferry arrives from Malta. Head west toward Dwejra Bay, once home to the famous Azure Window. The coastal views here are dramatic, with cliffs and sea stacks that make for great photo stops.
From Dwejra, drive to Ta Pinu Sanctuary near Gharb. This national shrine sits in open countryside and offers peaceful views and a quiet place to reflect. Continue to the Citadel in Victoria, the island's capital. The walled city sits on a hill and gives panoramic views across Gozo.
Next, head to Xaghra to visit the Ggantija Temples, some of the oldest freestanding structures in the world. From there, drive down to Ramla Bay, known for its wide beach and red sand. Stop at Tal Mixta Cave above the bay for one of the best views on the island.
Loop north through Marsalforn and along the coast to Xwejni Bay, where you can see the salt pans carved into the rock. These are still used today and stretch along the shore in geometric patterns.
Finish your drive back in Mgarr, stopping for fresh seafood at the waterfront restaurants or a drink at the terrace bar overlooking the port.
