- Ghajnsielem Parish Church - The Parish Church of Our Lady of Loreto, a Roman Catholic neo-gothic church, is located in the village of Għajnsielem. Its foundation stone was laid on September 14, 1924, but the church was not completed until the mid-1970s due to several interruptions, primarily during WWII.
- Belle Vedere - From the Qala Belvedere and the small courtyard in front of the quaint church “Il-Madonna Tal-Blat” (Saint Mary of the Rocks), visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of Comino, Cominotto, and the Blue Lagoon. This church faces Comino, and legend suggests it was built so the island’s residents could follow Holy Mass from afar when the weather was too rough for a priest to cross.
- Daħlet Qorrot - Daħlet Qorrot is a charming inlet nestled between Gozo’s northern cliffs, near the village of Nadur. It features a small pebbly beach, a quayside, and rocks on either side of the bay. The cove is used by a few fishermen who have converted caves at the cliff base into boathouses and storage for their fishing gear. Fishermen can often be seen mending nets or repairing their colorful boats.
- Calypso Cave - Located on the western side of Ramla Bay in Xagħra, Calypso’s Cave is a natural cave overlooking the beautiful red sands of Gozo’s finest beach. It is believed to be the cave mentioned by Homer in the Odyssey. Legend has it that Gozo is Homer’s Island of Ogygia, and the cave is where the nymph Calypso kept Odysseus as a “prisoner of love” for seven years.
- Ramla Bay - Known locally as “Ir-Ramla l-Ħamra” (meaning red sands), Ramla Bay is a bay with a beach of reddish sand. Situated on the island’s northeast coast, it lies between Marsalforn and San Blas bays and is celebrated as one of the most stunning bays in the Maltese archipelago.
- Ta’ Kola Windmill - Ta’ Kola Windmill is a unique relic of breadmaking in Gozo and one of the few surviving windmills from the Knights’ period on the Maltese Islands. This 200-year-old building is a testament to the challenging way of life of our ancestors. The windmill was a central part of village life, providing flour for bread, the most essential food item at the time.
- Ggantija Archaeological Park - The megalithic temples of Ġgantija have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1980. Along with the Ta’ Ħaġrat and Skorba Temples in Malta, this extraordinary archaeological site dates back to around 3600–2500 BC. The Ġgantija temples are considered the second oldest free-standing structures in the world, only preceded by Göbekli Tepe in Turkey, and pre-dating Stonehenge and the Pyramids by about 1000 years. The name “Ġgantija” comes from the Maltese word for giant (“Ġgant”), as it was believed giants built the site. This myth is understandable given the massive limestone blocks, over five meters long and weighing more than 50 tonnes.
The entrance fee to the Ġgantija temples is not included in the package price; visitors will have free time to explore the temples if they wish.
- Rotunda St. John Baptist Church - Constructed between 1952 and 1979, this is one of Gozo’s most iconic places of worship. Known as the Rotunda of Xewkija, this impressive church features the third highest unsupported dome in the world.
- The Citadel - At the heart of Gozo’s capital city lies the majestic mediaeval fortress known as “Iċ-Ċittadella” (The Citadel). With its distinctive skyline and imposing military architecture, this ancient fortified structure is Gozo’s major landmark, visible from all over the island.
The area has been inhabited since the Bronze Age, and the site now occupied by The Citadel is believed to have been the acropolis of the Punic-Roman city of Gaulos, or Glauconis Civitas. During the mediaeval period, the acropolis was transformed into a castle, serving as a refuge for Gozo’s population. By the 15th century, a suburb began to develop outside its walls, forming the historic core of Victoria.
-
Knight’s Wash House - Built in the 16th century by the Knights of St. John, these well-preserved public washhouses are carved into a cliff near a natural spring. Featuring a simple irrigation system, they continue to provide clean water and are still used by locals for laundry.
-
Xlendi Bay - Xlendi is one of the most charming and renowned locations in Gozo. It is a delightful coastal town with a beautiful small bay surrounded by picturesque cliffs.
-
Inland Sea - Dwejra Bay is also famous for its Inland Sea, a small bay encircled by high cliffs and connected by a remarkable 65-meter-long natural tunnel that opens into the open sea. This fascinating natural formation evokes awe and leaves a lasting impression. Weather permitting, visitors can take a short boat trip through the narrow tunnel and its surrounding area. This boat trip is available for a small fee payable on location (not included in the package price).
-
Ta’ Pinu National Shrine - On the outskirts of the village of Għarb, the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Blessed Virgin of Ta’ Pinu, commonly known as “Il-Knisja tal-Mirakli” (The Miracle Church) or simply “Ta’ Pinu,” is a must-see. This spectacular basilica is one of Gozo’s most iconic landmarks. While the building, its interior, and surroundings are beautiful, the stories surrounding the church are the most captivating.
Inside the shrine, visitors will find walls covered in letters, crutches, damaged helmets, and more, offered as testimony by those who believe they have been blessed with a miracle by the grace of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Ta’ Pinu.
- Dwejra Bay - Located on Gozo’s western shore, this area is a geological and ecological treasure. The surroundings are a blend of geology, landscape, fauna, habitats, shorelines, seascapes, archaeology, flora, and history, making a visit to this site an unforgettable experience.
- Ta’ Ġurdan Lighthouse - “Ta’ Ġordan” Lighthouse is an active lighthouse situated on a hill above the village of Għasri on Gozo’s northern coast.
- Xwejni Salt Pans - Heading north, visitors will enjoy a scenic route through the countryside leading to the Xwejni Salt Pans along Gozo’s northern coast.
The salt pans are a captivating landmark of great importance, preserving an ancient trade and skill while harvesting one of Gozo’s vital natural resources. Xwejni’s salt pans, with their chequerboard pattern and shimmering reflective pools, are always a dynamic sight. Spanning several kilometers across Gozo’s northern coast, they are currently divided among three salt farmers.
Salt mining has been a tradition in Malta for centuries, and here large clusters of salt pans can be found. Carved into the rocky coastline, these pans collect seawater during the colder and windier months. As the water evaporates in the sun, the salt remains and is harvested by hand. The harvesting season runs from April to August, with workers busy twice a week.
- Wied il-Mielah Window - The “Wied il-Mielaħ” Window is a limestone natural arch on Gozo’s northwestern coast. This seaside rock formation, resembling a large window, is accessible via a long stairway with a guardrail.
