Holidays in Gozo

An introduction to Gozo

An escape, a break and a run to the sun rolled into one? It's got to be holidays in Gozo.

Green hills. Lush valleys. A glassy sea that's never out of view. Gozo is a tiny, tranquil gem of an island, where rural life rules and tourists come to escape. It's made up of just thirteen villages circling the capital, Victoria. Fishermen and farmers, blacksmiths and bakers. Gozo's not so much a land that time forget, but one it hasn't got round to yet.

Indulge yourself at the stylish Hotel Ta Cenc, complete with wellness spa. Self catering holidays in Gozo aren't short of luxury. Private pools, converted farmhouses, splendid views across rolling countryside – simply idyllic.

Baroque churches and pretty squares in every village. Georgian facades and old farmhouses, flower pots and roof gardens. From tiny hamlets like St. Lawrenz and Gharb, to villages Sannat and Kercem, it's like you've stepped into a painting

Being such a small island – it's only 14 kilometres long and 7 kilometres wide – everywhere is only half an hours drive away. Choose between gorgeous beaches, like the exotic red sand Ramla Beach and the popular Marsalforn and Xlendi Bay. Visit Ggantija's megalithic temples and the Ta'Pinu shrine. Or Dbieji's Craft Village, where locals show off their age-old skills.

Evenings in Gozo are relaxed. An intimate meal at a farmhouse restaurant. A glass of beer at a bar in Victoria. Perhaps a night at the opera? If fireworks are lighting the sky above a village, go and join in the fiesta.

Whatever your package, it'll be a bargain – holidays to Gozo are priceless.
