Highlights

What makes this day special

Victoria & the Cittadella

Gozo’s fortified heart — sweeping views over the whole island from the bastion walls.

Ta’ Pinu Basilica

Gozo’s peaceful national shrine, a place of pilgrimage in open countryside.

Ġgantija & Dwejra

Megalithic temples older than the pyramids, and the dramatic coast at Dwejra — site of the former Azure Window.

Xlendi Bay

A picture-perfect fishing bay — ideal for lunch by the water and a swim in season.

Tip:

Comfortable shoes and sun protection — the Cittadella and Dwejra involve some walking, and Gozo’s sunshine is generous.

We wish you a wonderful week in Malta!
