The Sister Islands
Gozo & Comino
G
ozo is the smaller
of the two principal
islands making up the
Maltese
archipelago
in
the
middle
of
the
Mediterranean
Sea, some 95 miles south of Sicily.
Separated from the mainland by a
mere 5 km stretch, the island of Gozo
is more rural and tranquil, oasis of
hidden beaches, small villages and
rolling hills, where life runs at a laid
back natural pace.
About a third of the size of Malta, the
island has clung to the Mediterranean
traditions while at the same time
developing sophisticated hotels and
residences as well as restaurants
to cater for the discerning upscale
holiday maker – the visitor who looks
for an enriching experience. With the
oldest free-standing structures in the
world, pretty countryside, beautiful
sunsets, over 45 km of spectacular
coastlines,
dramatic
orange-red
sands, perfect snorkelling waters,
countless coves and bays and a high
concentration of churches, alongside
historic fortifications Gozo makes a
great destination for a peaceful and
relaxing holiday. Life on Gozo moves at
a leisurely pace, and Gozitans are living
proof that life in the slow lane is not
that bad after all. Gozo is as unique as
it is fascinating, and a visit could well
mean that your perspective towards
life is changed, for the better, forever.
The charm of Gozo is apparent the
moment you arrive. Largely untouched
by tourism, sustained by the land
and the sea, the island offers much
in the way of peace, tranquillity and
a chance to really get away from it
all. Being greener, more rural and
smaller than mainland Malta, Gozo is
one of the most scenic and unspoiled
islands in the world. Over the years
the island has maintained much of its
original character and remained an
undiscovered destination.
It offers
a perfect tranquil base for rest and
relaxation. The rhythms are dictated
