Gozo is the smaller more tranquil sister island of Malta – a haven of peace just a stone’s throw away from this bustling and cosmopolitan centre.

Once in Malta, allow around one hour to get to the Circewwa Harbour, Malta’s most northern point, and allow a further half an hour for the pleasant regular ferry crossing to Gozo.  Once here settle back, relax and let the tranquil Mediterranean atmosphere wash over you.
