Had an awesome holiday. We dived wrecks, caves and reefs. The instructors/guides were brilliant, particularly Richard Salter and Alan O Reilly. They explained the history of the site and what marine life we would see. Very helpful and professional. The contact between Diane and our dive centre was brilliant and efficient. Would definitely recommend gozo and St. Andrews divers cove to other divers and centres back home.

The Citadella visitor centre with its exhibition depicting the history is worth visiting. It is a small exhibition and free to browse. There is a very well done Audio Visual show which is included in a ticket which features 3 or 4 places of interest within The Citadel. It is a very new centre and worth visiting before entering the main Citadel area.

Really enjoyed our visit to Tal-Massar. The place is situated in a quite picturesque area in the Gozitan countryside. The winery and it's owners are very genuine, knowledgeable and kind! The tour consisted of a tour of the vineyards, followed by tasting of their 4 wines with nibbles to compliment the wines. The wines are of very high quality and reasonably priced for the quality, a reflection of the great knowledge and dedication that the owners have.
All 4 of us loved the visit and would love to do it again in the near future. Highly recommended!!
Being Maltese, I really do wish this winery the very best and I'm happy that their great work is finally being recognised and will soon be more widely distributed across the island!

Church of St. John The Baptist

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 ...

Probably the best day of my week holiday in Malta. Nice people and good photography. More kayak less boats! Floating right on the sea level is the experience to try. Enjoy it

Xlendi Beach, Cliff and Caves

Reviewed By Stephen F

We only stopped here as it was a crossover stop on the open top bus tour. Some fellow passengers recommended that we got off and what a delight it turned out to be.
The tide was well in with the wind driving the waves against rocky bay sides and against the restaurants that would normally line the beach. Took a walk along the cliffs enabling views of caves and inlets and across the bay. It truly was a spectacle and I can imagine that the sunsets would be amazing to watch if you had the opportunity. This bay was one of the highlights of our week in Malta.
