About this experience
Gozo and Malta are separated only by a narrow channel but the differences are eye-catching. Gozo is greener, more laidback and sparsely populated. You'll get the lowdown on the island on this adults-only small group tour with visits to the Victoria Citadel, Ggantija Temples, Ta'Pinu Basilica and Dwejra Bay.
After a short trip by ferry to the island and a pit stop at Qala Point, things kick off at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Ggantija Temples, which pre-date the Egyptian pyramids. The historic theme continues at the medieval Citadel of Victoria, the island's capital. There's also a visit to the salt pans to see how it's harvested.
Then, after lunch at a traditional Gozitan restaurant, we'll head to Ta'Pinu Basilica for a chance to grab some Instaworthy snaps. Last but not least you'll visit the impressive geographic features in and around Dwejra Bay – the Fungus Rock and the Inland Sea lagoon.
