Detailed itinerary
1
Dwejra Bay, located on the southwestern coast of Gozo, is a stunning coastal area known for its dramatic cliffs, unique rock formations, and crystal-clear waters.
2
With its distinctive skyline and imposing military architecture, Cittadella, the ancient fortified city, stands out as Gozo’s major landmark, visible from all over the island.
Occupied since prehistoric times, it reflects the marks left by its inhabitants, shaping the majestic complex we see today. The Citadel is rich in buildings of architectural, military, and historical value, and its open areas host numerous rare species of flora and fauna. It is an ideal setting for quality events that bring history to life, linking the island’s past with its future. Visiting Cittadella allows one to step back in time, experiencing history in an unforgettable way.
3
These 350-year-old salt pans, which cover approximately 3km along the coast, are integral to a long-standing Gozitan tradition of sea salt production. This method dates back to the Phoenician era, with significant developments during Roman times and continued by local families over generations.
4
Known locally as "Ramla il-Ħamra" – the Red Sandy Beach – this expansive stretch of red sand offers a stunning and unique coastal experience. Classified as a Natura 2000 protected site, Ramla Bay not only boasts the island’s best beach but also features an ecologically important rare sand-dune habitat, which adds to its natural allure.
