Holidays in Gozo

From the moment you step off the ferry onto Gozo's fertile soil, the leisurely pace of life and traditional values are tangible. Smaller than neighbouring Malta, this tiny isle is a delicious mix of rolling green hills, lush valleys and small sandy coves, dusted with a scattering of sleepy villages and soaked in shimmering sunshine. The capital, Victoria, is an intriguing town whilst the former fishing village of Marsalforn is Gozo's largest tourist resort. Xlendi Bay is less developed than Marsalforn but is known for its beauty, resting as it does at the end of a deep lush ravine. Indeed Gozo's beauty has been immortalised by some of the greatest writers in the history of literature. Thought to be the legendary isle of Calypso, its mystical atmosphere and incredible beauty were captured by Homer in The Odyssey. Edward Lear mentioned the island in a letter to Lady Waldegrave in 1866, stating 'its coast scenery may truly be called pomskizillious and gromphibberous, being as no words can describe its magnificence'.
