📍 Destination Overview
Gozo, Malta's second-largest island reached by ferry, is greener, quieter and more rural than its busy sister. Its greatest treasure is the Ggantija temples, raised around 3600 BC and older than the pyramids, said to be built by giant women. The citadel of Victoria crowns the island, and Ramla Bay's red-gold sands are among Malta's finest.

Gozo is Malta's tranquil and green sister island, reached by a ~25-minute ferry from the main island; spring and autumn (Apr-Jun & Sep-Oct) are most comfortable. Its treasure is the UNESCO Ggantija Temples from around 3600 BCE-a thousand years older than Egypt's pyramids. Don't miss the Victoria Citadella overlooking the whole island, the unique red-golden Ramla Beach, and the Dwejra Inland Sea boat trip through sea caves (the famous Azure Window arch collapsed in 2017). Self-drive is recommended on the island.
