Gozo is actually a small island just across the water from Malta in the Mediterranean. To get there we flew to Malta, took one of the bus shuttle services to get to the port of Cirkewwa and afterwards took the Gozo ferry to the island. The ferry while visiting (2010) was about 4 euros for every passenger and nearly 13 euros for each car including the driver

If you are used to Spain or France with all the modern day conveniences then Gozo is not really for you as it feels that the island is around 10 years behind these countries around the world. Not always a bad thing if you are looking for a peaceful soothing holiday getaway. You will never find any nightlife like you may find in main land Malta we were not searching but there are areas such as Ramla Bay Beach and Marsalform if you happen to be on the lookout for something far more upbeat. We actually did have occasion to stay at one out of the hotels in Gozo which appeared to be pleasant enough I unfortunately forgot the name of it mainly because we had been traumatised by roaches at our initial villa.

You would undoubtedly require a car (they drive on the same side as the UK) if you are staying on Gozo unless you are fine with riding on bus services. The buses are somewhat antiques from the 50s and they are tremendously embellished.

We hired a villa in Gozo, just outside the village of Xaghra which was quiet, very much like the rest of the island apart from the capital Victoria. As the island is very small it is comparatively easy to drive out to one of the neighborhoods in the evening to get a meal. You will realize that the food is predominantly Italian so pasta and pizza are on most menus. We did discover a great little square in Xaghra which had several high quality restaurants that served fresh fish along with other meat dishes. The food was not cheap here but Xlendi was great to visit if you had had enough of pizza.

There is quite a lot to visit on Gozo with a number of bays such as Xlendi which is a small traveller resort on the south west coast. Gozo weather assures warm sea breezes and full on sunshine.

The Citadel in Victoria is really worth a visit. Gozo being predominantly catholic has churches that are lavishly decorated and most of the churches are lit at night. You will find some interesting museums to visit as well some exhibiting the huge wealth of the Catholic Church in solid silver.

If you have some spare cash, the two excursions that I would recommend are the Seaplane that will take you on a scenic flight around the islands and leave you in Malta for the day. Be prepared to jostle for a window seat to be able to see the spectacular coast line. The plane flies fairly low so you can see a lot of detail.

The next excursion is to hire a boat for the day. We paid out the extra and had the boat to ourselves which is terrific as the captain will take you where you want to go, we were provided with coffee and afternoon tea and cooked fresh lunch of fish that has been caught that morning. We stopped off at numerous bays and swam with the fish. This was a marvelous experience. The captain told us to leap in the water with our snorkels and then he fed the fish. We had countless fish all swimming around us much like a huge aquarium.
