Gozo: Introduction
Gozo, means ‘joy’ in Castilian and is the second largest Island of the Maltese archipelago. Though separated from mainland Malta by a 5km stretch of sea, Gozo is distinctly different from Malta. The island is a third the size of Malta, more rural and unspoilt, its culture and way of life rooted in fishing, as well as in farming. With a determinedly relaxed pace of life, a package holiday to Gozo places you just 25 minutes by ferry from Malta, meaning that no matter what you require it’s only a short journey away. English is the second language here so communication with the friendly locals is simple and rewarding and the delicious Mediterranean food has something for every palate.
Reasons to visit
Malta is an archipelago; a small group of islands. Of these, Malta is the largest and most densely populated. Gozo, the second largest, is smaller and more rural with rich ancient history, while both islands boast friendly locals and incredible Mediterranean food to tickle even the fussiest palate.
