Gozo

Gozo is a 14km long and 7km wide island; it is located 6km from Malta and can be accessed with a ferry for the low cost of 4.65€ for a two way ticket. This small island is more rural than Malta; the Gozitans are very proud people and there exists rivalry between them and Maltese inhabitants.
There are many features that deserve to be visited :

- the red sand bays, such as Ramla Bay or San Blas bay

                            - the picturesque village of Xlendi                        
                           
- Azur window

 

Gozo also harbors the 7000 year old Ggantija temples, the Victoria Citadel and the Xewkija church.
The ideal thing is to spend one or two nights in Gozo so as to have the time to see everything that the island has to offer. One can rent a bed in the charming St. Joseph hostel for the affordable price of 8€, breakfast included.
