Part of the Maltese archipelago, Gozo is the second-largest of the seven-island chain and basks in the Mediterranean off the coast of Sicily. More rural than its sister island, Malta, Gozo has a population of 31,000. Home to some of the oldest religious structures in the world, the fascinating Ggantija temples, the island offers dramatic orange-red sands and perfect snorkeling waters at striking Ramla Bay. Rickety buses ply Gozo's roads, making getting about the island an exciting component of your trip.

Spoonman’s Shop

The Spoonman’s Shop is a local artists gallery in the heart of Victoria. Our work consist in woodwork, paintings, ceramics and small handmade souvenirs. I am fascinated by the neolithic pottery so you will find some nice replicas here. I design wooden spoons with stories, wooden bowls, crosses and small decoration. Having my chisels in our shop I will be happy to present my craft.

This beautiful shop had amazing hand made jewellery and crafts. We bought a lovely hand painted magnet. It was unique and different from the usual souvenir shop choices. The owner was super friendly. You should visit this place if you have planned a trip to Gozo.

Hondoq Bay

Reviewed By profjoypc - Alnwick, United Kingdom

We enjoyed walking from Mgarr harbour along the cliff top walk to Hindoq with spectacular views out over Comino and Malta beyond. Hondoq itself is a lovely small bay with a restaurant which gets busy in the summer season but is very quiet at the time of year we were most recently there (January)

Reviewed By genur001 - Victoria, Malta

Visiting this Basilica you will see the beautiful paintings on the ceiling and the magnificent gilded things it has got. What about the beautiful statue of the Patron Saint of St. George. If you want to celebrate a nice feast with the well welcoming people of this parish church you have to come on the second week of July to enjoy this feast. A whole week of festivities , marches around the streets of Victoria the Capital City and enjoying the fireworks.

Ta' Pinu National Shrine

Reviewed By Teresa55555 - Ellensburg, United States

Extraordinary Ta Pinu Basilica, described as the most beautiful church in Malta, is a shrine and a pilgrimage destination. The beautiful interior and amazing mosaics in front of the church are worth seeing. The story of Carmela Grima and later history of the site are compelling. Take the walk up the hill across from the church to see the marble Stations of the Cross and the amazing view in all directions from the top of the hill.

The Citadel

Reviewed By faustinol389 - Ingoldmells, United Kingdom

Standing upon the high medieval northern walls of the Citadella, the view is 360 degrees of magnificence. Outside the walls, a large stretch of rocky terrain, decorated with grand churches and cathedrals acting sentinel as the crystal sea lies dormant in the back ground. Within the walls, you can see the history unravel and feel at one with the many battles and hardships the Citadella has both withstood and crumbled to. A must see to anyone who desires to expand their historical knowledge and engage with fantastic views!
