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.

3. Dwejra Marine Environmental Education Centre
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 31 reviews
Situated a mere few metres from Dwejra’s inland sea, the environmental education centre acts as the perfect accompaniment to a site of such natural complexity and interest. Dwejra has its own centre on location where anyone – divers, tourists, swimmers, children – can learn about what is special about Dwejra’s underwater landscape.

Loved “taking a scuba dive without getting wet” in this small, interesting center! The video was beautifully done and truly did let us visit the incredible undersea world around Dwerja. Learned so much more about Maltese marine life in a very entertaining format for adults and children. There is a great pictoral story of the erosion of the azure window from 1879 until its final disappearance. One of the very best parts of the visit was talking to Annie, the staff member on duty. She shared delightful stories of childhood days at the inland sea with her grandfather, which instilled in her a passion for the natural surroundings, land and sea, on this lovely island. As you walk down to the inland sea – don’t walk by without stopping in!

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)

Positioned on a cliff top, away from the pressures of modern life. Ta'Cenc is the perfect retreat for those who want to get away and relax, walk and explore this little island of Gozo.

The ferry crossing from just north of Mellieha Bay in Malta to Gozo runs a sleek and efficient service everyday from early morning until late evening. There is no need to book in advance, just return up and board. The crossing itself is very fast (around 15 mins) and ferries depart every 30 mins; so you never have to wait long. The walk on passenger cost of Euro 4.65 return is very reasonable. Note: you only need to buy a ticket for the Gozo to Malta leg; when travelling from Malta to Gozo no ticket is necessary just board the ferry.

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!

Come and explore the beauty that lies within this church. Learn about the history of the church and also about the transfer of another small 17th century church which was on the same site of the modern church today. Take a lift to the terrace of the Dome to enjoy a panoramic view of the marvelous island of Gozo. "Forget your troubles and admire god's creation" It is simply a must ...

You can get to this place on the 303 bus from Mgarr and walk up to it. It is a beautiful building which includes the 3rd. largest unsupported dome in the world. There is a lift up to the roof (3 euros) but it is well worth it and you can climb up to the bell tower. From the roof you can see all of Gozo. Well worth a visit.
