The boat trip through the cave sails over the ruins of once famous, now ruinous Azure Window landmark, which is not included in fee.
3
See the dynamic saltpans, where just the sea, wind and our sun are used to harvest natural sea-salt in an ancient practice started here during Phoenician times, when salt was more precious than gold! The salt-pans and their charming chequerboard design offer a great chance to take dramatic photos.
4
Ramla Bay is a large beautiful, golden sandy beach on Gozo's northern side - famous for it's rich red sands.
5
Wied il-Ghasri is a dynamic secluded inlet with a tiny pebbly beach. This beautiful,deep, gorge-like valley with very high cliffs is stunning and a typical example of the remote locations that our all action Quad and Buggy tours enable visitors to witness.

Stop 7
Gozo's famous church dedicated to St John The Baptist. This Baroque style church, designed by Italian designer Giuseppe Damato has the 3rd largest dome in Europe (75 metres high). Inspired by the Santa Maria della Salute church of Venezia, this 'church within a church', took more than 20 years to build and was funded by locals. It was built around the outside of the former church, which is now a museum inside. An additional fee gets you access to the museum + lift, taking you up to the roof, for a walk around the circumference of the dome, for a 'birds-eye'view of Gozo.
