Gozo’s relative anonymity creates a sanctuary of calm and tranquillity for those seeking a peaceful break in the sun. Situated five kilometres to the North West of Malta, the charms Malta’s sister island possesses are immediately visible as you slowly chug into the pretty harbour of Mgarr. The old and impressive church positioned on a hillside behind the harbour allows first time visitors to Gozo to excitedly muse they are arriving somewhere special.
And right they are to assume this indeed. As it is not just the fishing town of Mgarr, with its dedication to sea craft, its history of slaves, pirates and Corsairs, and of course the neo-Gothic Lourdes sanctuary keeping a watchful eye over the town, which crafts for a delightful day out. Here are the some of the most exquisite of the many enchanting surprises Gozo has to offer.
