The reason I only give it one star is because it is a real shame how this natural area has been destroyed. Overconstruction without any type of planning is everywhere. There is little maintenance and a lot of dirt. What could be a spectacular place has become a place to extract money from tourists, with too many restaurants and shops.

Nice small bay with clean water and nice path to walk around and make some sightseeing. Nice to make some photos.

Lovely little village and bay in Gozo. Worth a visit if you are on holiday or visiting Malta. Highlights are the ice-cream shop, Front Bar and Pirates Galley for something to eat.

Very small beach in Xlendi Bay, shallow water, easy access make this a great choice for families with children. Looking at the sea there is a staircase on the right, follow it for a beautiful view of the bay and if you carry on it will take you down to a small cave (see picture). On the left side plenty of ladders provide easy access to the sea (deeper). Plenty of fish, great for snorkeling and diving, follow the coastline, it's worth it. Unfortunately the beach is an example of how badly building permissions were managed. It could have been an amazing place if it wasn't for the restaurants built literally ON the beach. There are also watersport activities, canoeing, kayaking, scooter, boats, trip around Gozo, paddle boats and paddle boards.

A small beach in the center. Around the restaurants, above the apartments, and above them a landscape of hills. Beautiful sunsets. Mysterious nooks and crannies on the old one Salt Pans.

Very nice place, good restaurants around the harbour area. Super friendly locals

A breathtaking experience. The Sanap Cliffs are more than amazing. The Majestic cliffs tower above the azure sea, offering stunning views. Amazing colours in the sea. It is a bit of a walk there or very narrow drive.

WORTH THE HYPE!! I walked here from Xlendi. It’s mostly an unpaved but well marked trail. Way better and faster than walking on the paved trail from Munxar. The trail from Munxar will also be filled with tourists.

A must visit place to experience a breath taking views of naturally formed cliffs. Remember to take a plenty of water with you as you will be exposed to scorching sun. Highly recommended.

Breathtaking views and total serenity 🌊⛰️ Sanap Cliffs completely blew us away! Less crowded than the more touristy spots, but just as — if not more — stunning. The cliffs drop straight into the sea with dramatic views that go on forever. It’s the kind of place that makes you stop and just breathe. We went around sunset and it was pure magic — golden light, peaceful atmosphere, and hardly anyone around. It felt like we had the place to ourselves. There’s a walking path that’s easy and scenic, and if you’re into photography, this place is a dream. Definitely one of our favorite spots in Gozo!

The Sanap Cliffs are a hidden gem on Gozo and offer some of the most spectacular views in the entire Maltese archipelago! The steep cliffs rise majestically above the deep blue sea, creating a breathtaking backdrop that is second to none. Compared to the **Dingli Cliffs** in Malta, the Sanap Cliffs are quieter, more pristine, and even more impressive. Here, you can enjoy nature in its purest form, without large crowds. The sunset at these cliffs is simply magical – the golden rays of light bathe the landscape in a warm glow as the sea gently laps against the rocks. An absolute must-see for nature lovers, hikers, and photographers! Anyone who wants to discover the beauty of Malta should not miss this place. **Highly recommended!**

Super scenic, beautiful area. You can have quite a trekking to get there with beautiful landscape. Not crowded, easy to walk. Must on Gozo!

Breathtaking, nature's work of art over million years

Everything at this restaurant including location, food, staffs, service, view, plating etc. was simply flawless and outstanding. We had our table near a cave and it felt so exclusive, special and like part of nature. They had a great selection of wine (definitely recommend Maltese wines) and the prices were super reasonable given the food quality and location. We already made a reservation for the next visit. If you want to have an elevated & special evening but feel still cozy & warm, just come here.

We had dinner there. The seating by the sea and the overall atmosphere were just perfect. The food and service were excellent, and the value for money was great. We especially enjoyed the fresh ingredients and the attention to detail in every dish. The staff was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Definitely a place we'd love to visit again!

Absolute must to visit. Location is amazing,food was delicious and service from Suresh and Sunil was excellent. One of the highlights of our holiday. When staff learnt that the restaurant and me shared the name, they made it extra special for me to feel very welcome. Best dining experience! I honestly can't wait to go back. Well done, Ta Karolina.

A restaurant you must visit. Although it was a busy Sunday evening, the staff was very helpful and attentive. Generous portions of mouthwatering food. Great experience from start to finish. Highly recommended

Big disappointment… I found this restaurant on tripadvisor as one of the best seafood restaurant in Gozo.. the seafood was not bad but nothing special.. mussels- small and tasteless. Same with the marinara… Service was really slow .. Overall I don’t recommend to come for dinner, maybe for couple of drinks.

Amazing restaurant with delicious food. The staff are very welcoming and polite. The Restaurant is located just off the bay so you have a great view whilst dining. Overall I’d highly recommend this place!

Great food and service that really looks after each table. Great view on the bay with charming ambience of the restaurant. Would recommend

Along Gozo’s rugged northwest coast, the centuries-old salt pans carve a striking geometric pattern into the limestone shoreline. Hand-chiseled by generations of local families, these shallow pools still produce sea salt using traditional methods passed down since the Romans. Visiting at sunrise or sunset offers breathtaking views as the golden light reflects off the crystal-lined pans. Watch as salt harvesters skillfully scrape the mineral-rich crystals—a backbreaking yet cherished craft. The nearby Salt Kitchen shop sells this "white gold" in its purest form, perfect for edible souvenirs. A testament to Gozo’s resilience, the salt pans blend natural beauty with living history. Free to visit, but respect the working areas.

Very nice area to visit and walk around. Beautiful salt pans, easily accessible.

So brilliant to see the salt being harvested. Great walking along by the sea. Great for swimming, relaxing and leisurely refreshments.

Beautiful spot but you should we aware that Malta is a country where they hunt and catch birds, especially when the bird migration is going on, like now. They kill for fun and the hunts are not very well controled. Around the coastline you see these hunters everywhere. Birds in very small cages, hunters with riffles, speakers with birdsounds... We witnessed a lot of those spots and it is heartbreaking. We wouldn't have visited Malta if we knew this upfront.

Beautiful coastal walk along the water, interesting history regarding the salt collection. A nice family sells the salt directly at the location.

As beautiful as the pictures...in Victoria, you can buy Gozo sea salt from here that's several hundred years old! The salt pans are a marvel of nature and located at the end of a pleasant walk or drive from Marsalforn--but I recommend walking for the air.

Nice bit of coast to see where salt is traditionally still collected over the summer months. Really interesting to see, nice walk along the coastline while you're viewing them. There's a cafe there and public toilets. We went in off season so plenty of places to park, but could see in the summer months that it would be very busy.

The boat trip was wonderful. It made the beauty of Malta. The best experience of this place.

Super impressive place, extremely beautiful! We loved the small boat ride from the inland to the open sea through the rocks. We had wonderful fresh fish at The Azure Restaurant. And we walked to the Blue Hole just a few metres away where you can snorkel and admire all the colourful fish. It was incredible!

Gorgeous views! Definitely worth the walk down! Don't be lazy, avoid driving down ;)

When in Gozo be sure to visit Dwejra , a short bus ride from Victoria bus station, Bus no. 311 ( goes every hour ). Visit the historical Tower, and take a scenic walk along the cliffs, Fungus rock is amazing ! Then head down to the Inland sea where you can take a boat ride, or have lunch at The Azure Restaurant. A must see.

A must visit for anyone coming to Gozo. The Azure window has gone unfortunately but the views are still incredible. Parking and a food truck are also available

I have been around 4 times and this beach is unique!

Lovely and not too crowded with tourists like the rest of dwejra! Definitely worth it

The most romantic restaurant on Xlendi Bay, terrazzo was a gorgeous evening restaurant with a multitiered terrace. Anywhere you sit, you can see the sunset, the cannon sparks from Victoria, or the gorgeous bay. The servers were very attentive, and knowledgeable with dietary restrictions (I had the best gluten free bread I’ve ever had in my life)! Take the family, a friend, or your lover for an unforgettable evening.

We ate Swordfish, Stone Bass, Namibia Steak and Chateaubriand. Had some good cocktails and wine. All of that was just amazing! 🤤 We had dinner while watching the beautiful sunset arround 19h. If you want a place outside on the terrace, I would recommend to book a table. We booked a table 1 hour ahead on a Monday and received a nice spot outside. 🌅 Best bang for your buck! 💸

We visited this restaurant for the second time, and once again, everything was perfect. The food, the view, and the staff were all outstanding. I’d give it a 10 out of 10. Excellent value for money. One of the best — if not the best — restaurants in Xlendi

Such good food & amazing view! We got a table right by the edge & saw an insane sunset. Everything we ordered was 10/10 like the cauliflower steak, fish duo, sea bass starter and the cheesecake. Don’t skip the cheesecake, arguably our favourite dish.

Exquisite! The best restaurant we visited on our travels throughout Gozo! The service is unmatched, the freshness of the ingredients is pristine, and the cocktails are masterfully crafted. We also got complimentary bread with sauces, and complimentary cactus liqour. Can't recommend this restaurant enough.

We had a wonderful experience at Terrazzo! 🌅 The view is simply breathtaking and creates the perfect atmosphere for dinner. We ordered three starters, a bottle of wine, and one main dish to share all of them were delicious and very wellprepared. The staff were extremely friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome throughout the evening. It’s one of those places where you can truly relax, enjoy good food, and feel taken care of. Definitely a spot we would love to come back to! 🍷

Stunning spot to enjoy its food. Good option book a table or come early. Usually , it’s fully booked.

Got there early so could read all exhibits and get around without too many people. Initial building is nice and lots of interesting exhibits that bring the temple to life. Super easy to get around. Really worthwhile visit.

The temple was smaller than expected, so don't have expectations based on the name 😄 The small museum that you enter first is quite interesting, but there were two guided companies at the same time as us and they were loud and took a lot of space, so we had to go back to the museum afterwards to see the rest. If you want to get a feel of the place, set aside time to just be there (and maybe wait for guided tours to move on). If you are lucky and can be in one of the temple areas alone, you can better get a sense of the energy and history of the place. You can easily get through it in less than an hour, but if you have time, just enjoy the surroundings and the magical sensation of a temple older than the pyramids.

Oldest free standing manmade structures in the world! A thousand years older than the pyramids of Egypt! Excellent museum. Self guided tour around the walls

Interesting museum, great view on the way to the archeological site. Without rushing it tou can spend around 1,5 hours there. Tickets will also give you access to the old Windmill nearby.

Ancient site, good exhibition/museum exhibits. Friendly staff, gift shop and toilets. A very interesting visit.To think its so incredibly old!

So cool and old, you get to walk around inside the temple and get really close to the stonework. Stonehenge makes you stand way back away from it cos it thinks it’s so cordial

Truly impressive site. Amazing experience and great to visit in November without the hoardes of people and hot sun. The buildings have a stunning scale having survived so long.

Very nice and not crowded beach. Amazing views, crystal clear water, places to jump off of, restaurants all over. Definitely worth coming back again

If travelling to Gozo, this is a must visit gem. Gorgeous small inlet with fantastic restaurants round the sides. Stunning setting with fresh seafood on offer at the restaurants

A sheltered cove at Xlendi beach with excellent swimming from easy access ladders from rocky outcrops. Beach is limited (size+ rockiness) for smaller children. Town retains its charm despite further high rise being built above.

OMG… if you like octopus get on a plane and come here! The octopus stew is the best I’ve ever had, incredible! The staff are lovely, the setting is fabulous. The wine is excellent! Highly recommended!!!!

Beach is very small but its lovely surroundings and particular nice views from the street up the hill. Parking areas were crowded on June Sunday but we found street parking up the hill.

Disappointed by this dirty spot at the end of the bay. I would not even call it a beach, it’s just 10 meter long “sandy” area. No space to actually relax and swim, but if you do you are entertaining guests of the restaurants who come there in smart casual attire. Be careful about the motorboats! They may not see you in water.

A very beautiful place. There is a small beach and several stairways leading down to the water. There are numerous bars, restaurants, and cafés in the vicinity. There is an excellent promenade towards the cape and a pleasant path to the cliff overlooking the bay. Boat rentals and other amenities are available.

Beautiful Basilica. Take the time to walk around. Sad to see all of the items in the shrine rooms. Walk up the hill opposite to see marble statues and get a great view if you ignore the crane 😊

Very nice enormous basilica with a touching story emblematic of the history and culture of Malta. Eminently walkable area and along many tour bus routes for a 10-minute photo stop. Highly recommend walking around outside and inside to catch all the gems of this wonderful place!

This a beautiful Catholic Shrine of Blessed irgin Mary. The story of the church and Shrine is uniquely beautiful. The church has been build out of small Chapel where the picture of Mother Mary of TA' PINU is located. Inside is the gallery with pictures and letters of all miracles and healing that took place as of Mother Mary and Frances. The basilica is very peaceful inside. The church is not open at all times. Modesty is necessary when coming to holy space like Shrine.

Must visit place Mosaic work is awesome at entrance. Church is quite different to all others in terms of interior architecture and design.

Another amazing architectural wonder. Such a scared site and a blessing to experience this powerful space. So cool to check out even though I am not religious but rather spiritual.

A truly breathtaking church in Gozo. The architecture is stunning inside and out, with incredible attention to detail. You can really feel the history and spirituality as soon as you walk in – it has such a peaceful and moving atmosphere. A must-visit if you’re exploring Gozo, whether for faith, history, or just to admire its beauty.

The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Blessed Virgin of Ta' Pinu, nestled in the peaceful Gozitan countryside, is undoubtedly an impressive neo-Romanesque structure. I enjoyed visiting the site, and its architectural grandeur, particularly the towering bell tower and the beautiful mosaics outside, certainly make for a visually striking destination. It has a compelling history rooted in local tradition, dating back to a 19th-century peasant who allegedly heard the voice of the Virgin Mary in the original, much smaller chapel, which now sits behind the main altar. While the atmosphere is serene and it holds immense religious importance for the Maltese, beyond the stunning facade and the interesting back story, the visit itself wasn't a supremely unforgettable experience compared to some other world-class pilgrimage sites. Nevertheless, it is a significant cultural and spiritual landmark on the island of Gozo.

Great place! Delicious, fresh dishes – the grilled fish was perfectly seasoned and juicy, and the tomato bruschetta tasted just like in Italy. Friendly service and a pleasant atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit!

I've been in Gozo for two weeks now and have tried most of the island's top restaurants — some fancy, some expensive, and some with just average food. But this place truly stands out. The service is absolutely fantastic, the food is incredibly tasty, and the prices are very reasonable. It’s rare to find a place that hits all the marks so well. During our visit, we also had a great conversation with the owner, who has been running this restaurant for over 40 years. He spoke with genuine passion about keeping things simple and honest — no unnecessary twists, no over-seasoning, just real, traditional cooking done right. They use fresh fish from local suppliers, which makes a huge difference in flavor and quality. You can feel that this place has soul. After all the places we’ve tried, this is by far the best. I can’t recommend it enough.

Very good food for such a commercial place. I recommend the chicken with almond sauce. On the menu, you’ll find classic beers, as well as a wide selection of cocktails and wines. The prices are pretty much the same as in Valletta, Malta.

Best restaurant what we have discovered while staying in Gozo! Place with devoted attention to the slightest detail - good quality food, exceptional service, friendly and welcoming staff, nice atmosphere and of course affordable prices. We even enjoyed eating at this place two times for dinner - just because one time experience here wasn’t enough! And of course wonderful sunset!👍

Exceptional service from Irmine, and this is with the lens of spending years working in top restaurants. Just perfect balance of attention and meaningful, not upselling type of advice. Thank you to chefs too, the food was made with taste, fresh and wonderful flavours. The breathtaking sunset is just round a corner, so worth visiting before or after to enjoy that. In daylight you get slightly distanced Dwejra bay view. Chill out background music makes it a definitely a relaxing meal during quieter time. Lovely experience to carry. Thank you. 🐟🐙🍅🫒

Great restaurant, we had a fresh fish of the day (Merluzzo), made with garlic and herbs and super delicious sides like veggies, french fries, potatoes and salad.

Amazing place with excellent view. Clean and people working there are very nice, smiling and helpful. Sea bass grilled very tasty. Only one dish was not good, french fries. Fried in deep oil and it was like potato drunk oil. So the feeling was to eat oil in shape of french fries. Beside that, perfect.

Absolutely loved this place! The food was delicious, especially the duck with fig sauce and the calamari fritto misto – both highly recommended. The view of the bay is simply stunning, with crystal-clear water and a peaceful, quiet atmosphere. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Will definitely be coming back!

A good eating place with a wonderful view. We had some fabulous starters and great main course. One ⭐️ less as I expected the Rabbit slow cooked to fall off the bone, but it wasn’t the case - however very tasty 🙌🏻

This restaurant and its owners and servers gave us one of the best experiences we've ever had in a restaurant. We were welcomed with a warm smile and service that only family offers. The waiters and owners were extremely natural and friendly. We ordered a lot of food (the duck, the mussels, and the octopus) as well as wine. Everything was delicious and it really felt as if they were enjoying us enjoying the food. Highly highly recommended for a sunset view lunch or dinner. Thank you for the lovely evening.

The food at Cima Restaurant is absolutely delicious – every dish we tried was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The staff were friendly, and the cozy atmosphere made it a great spot to enjoy a meal in Gozo. The view from the terrace is simply magnificent, adding a special touch to the whole dining experience. The only downside was the long waiting time for the food, which tested our patience a little. However, once the dishes arrived, the taste and quality definitely made up for it. Highly recommended if you’re not in a rush and want to savor tasty cuisine with stunning views!

The best restaurant we ate at in our 10 days in Malta and Gozo. The food was beautifully cooked and fresh and the staff lovely. The terrace gives an amazing view over the harbour!

Very well situated place with amazing więv for the sea and cliffs, superb food and service

We enjoyed a beautiful lunch here looking out at the spectacular views. The service was exceptional and they were able to cater for gluten free without issue. Outstanding quality of food - thank you!

Great beach for swimming, snorkeling or scuba diving. In adverse weather conditions such as strong westerly winds can be one of only a few beaches that are safe to use. Great seaside Restaurant on the sea front.

Lovely place to swim if you have the rubber shoes( bottom is rocky), and come by motorcycle/ bicycle. Parking is an issue here, not much space but people come and go so you’ll eventually grab a spot.

A beautiful hidden cove with a small pebble beach. There is the option to rent a sunbed with an umbrella (2 sunbeds + umbrella = €15). The water is crystal clear. We visited in the afternoon, and there were few people. Further out, the water is deeper and still so clear that you can see all the way to the bottom. If you’re coming by car, there’s a large parking (free) lot available. We came by Bolt. ☺️

This is a beautiful beach, much better than xlendi or others. I really enjoyed swimming here however the slope was very scary for the car so I parked s bit further away. It's a small beach but so lovely and calm and beautiful colours. Definitely worth going to visit and swim in 🏖️

A tranquil little beach in Gozo, perfect if you’re looking for a peaceful swim. The waters are crystal clear and absolutely beautiful. We got there around 11am and it wasn’t busy at all, which made it even more enjoyable. There’s also a small café nearby and some water sports available, so you’ve got everything you need for a relaxing day.

Gorgeous small beach with snorkeling and jumping from rocks into the sea with a small shed for refreshments worthwhile! Be warned steep road down

If it weren't for the incredible beauty of the place, I wouldn't give it such a high rating, access is not so easy for those who are going as a driving, with access from a super narrow road it’s a little challenge to get to, nothing impossible but hard for some drivers. But the beauty and structure with bars and water entertainment are wonderful.

The museum is very basic, though I found the little information available quite interesting. It took around 10 mins to look around the prison. It was free as part of the combined ticket (see below). You can go in one of the prison cells, and see into a couple more (the entire prison is 6 cells, two hallways, and another open air room. Entry to the museum is €5 on its own (not good value) or €13 as part of a combined ticket that includes 5 Citadella museums (Citadella visitor centre), museum of archaeology, old prison, Gran Castillo historic house, and nature museum) as well as the Ggantija Archeological park (€10 on its own, making the combined ticket worthwhile) and Ta Kola windmill.

Small but nice bit of history to see, the whole area is free for the most part and the small cost to go into a couple of the buildings was worth it.

This museum was included in the very advantageous and recommended thirty day Heritage Malta Multisite Pass. It was worth visiting while at the Citadel, with some interesting historical context and graffiti in the cell.

Not very big, but still worth a visit and a photo in the stocks!

Small passage between prison cells, you can go inside one, there are old markings, writings and sketches of ships, very interesting, whole experice takes max 10 minutes. Not bad, but also not missing out on anything special. Entrance fee is 5 euros, is valid for 2 more museums in the citadel ( but not the cathedral ). Museums are very small.

Well preserved old prison with original graffiti on the wall

I personally love in historical sites the « people like me lived here once » vibe. This is a place like this. What I loved about it is that you get to see all the graffiti’s that cellmates from the 19th century drew into the wall, that is pretty amazing if you are into this kind of things

Small museum with some interesting displays. Less than one hour to see the displays.

The museum has poor exhibits and not great information. It took around 10 mins to traverse. It was free as part of the combined ticket (see below), but I think it's not worth the time unless you have a significant interest in archaeology. Entry to the museum is €5 on its own (not good value) or €13 as part of a combined ticket that includes 5 Citadella museums (Citadella visitor centre), museum of archaeology, old prison, Gran Castillo historic house, and nature museum) as well as the Ggantija Archeological park (€10 on its own, making the combined ticket worthwhile) and Ta Kola windmill.

One of five museums available for the daily citadel pass. I rated this one the lowest of the five.

Small and interseting museum about history of a citadell and its souroundings, whole experience is in 3 small rooms, takes about 5 min to look around, if you are not deeply inte the details.

Some interesting things and together with the museum in Valletta, inspired us to visit the actual temples in person. Part of the 5 museums you can visit for EUR 5 at Citadel.

It’s a rather smaller but informative museum. It only has two floors with small rooms. Although there was quite a bit on display, I feel like I was better informed at other museums. Still decent none the less.

This museum is small but has many interesting stuff like what did they use and also shows a real skull and parts of a human.

Beautiful! Haven't got a chance to see Azure Window when it was still above the ground, but I think Wied il-Mielah is a nice "replacement". It's amazing, the view made me breathtakingly calm ❤️ You can make a lunch break there as well! ☀️☺️☀️ I recommend walking in Gozo, in general, but especially to this place. It's nice to go with the bus to Zebbug and from there walk to Wied il-Gharsi (amazing) and then to wied il-mielah and from there to Gharb or San Lawrenz to take a bus back. And for those who really like to walk It's nice to go from wied il-mielah to the "sunsets cliffs" (probably through Gharb) most beautiful spot and by the cliffs It's a nice walk down to Dwejra Bay, but this route is for Island explorers, highly recommended for everyone tho. Cheers, see you at the cliffs 💃 (Video is from a really windy day, don't be scared 😅)

...I can’t find a word good enough to describe Malta’s stunning nature. Wied il-Mielah stands out with its beautiful coastal cliffs… a true rest for the soul and body…

Spectacular stone arch that you can walk out across on the left side of the valley (best to do this first, if you don't like heights), with a narrow staircase on the right side leading down to a great view of what's beneath where you were just standing (or not). It's an easy walk and there's parking nearby. If you go past the top of the stairs instead, out to the edge, then follow the clifftop around to the right, there's a ledge a couple of meters wide that you can walk along to see a huge cave a little further along the coast. Back at the car park, there's a road to the east that takes you along the cliffs to Wied il-Għasri, which is also well worth a visit.

It was an interesting drive to get there. It's a really fun one :)) The place itself is beautiful, easy to get to. There are stairs that go down, they're well made and safe.

Walk the trail down the side of the cliff. You are limited in view as it is blocked off towards the end Because it has become eroded, but still a wonderful view.

A fantastic geological experience, a truly wonderful visit to this rock formation that 30 million years ago was the seabed, if you look carefully you will find millions of fossils buried in the rock on which you walk. You can also take a walk down a staircase to view the Weid IL Mielah window

Very beautiful landscape and veiw over the sea and surounding cliffs. The Window looks like on the end of the world. It is also good for climbing. In that part of the island you can see a lot of cliffs over 50m heigh.

This old-house-now-museum spans across a number of floors (not suitable for disabled visitors) and a labyrinth of rooms. There wasn't a huge amount of information about the rooms and their uses in the museum. It took around 20 mins to traverse. It was free as part of the combined ticket (see below). Entry to the museum is €5 on its own (not good value) or €13 as part of a combined ticket that includes 5 Citadella museums (Cittadella visitor centre), museum of archaeology, old prison, Gran Castillo historic house, and nature museum) as well as the Ggantija Archeological park (€10 on its own, making the combined ticket worthwhile) and Ta Kola windmill.

A must visit in Gozo. It is free to enter and walk around the perimeter wall which has spectacular 360 degree views of Gozo. There an entrance fee of 5euros per adult, children and students £4euros to enter the Cathedral which includes the museum. Be aware mid afternoon in July it is very, very hot with nest to no shade or breeze.

Located in the Citadel, the real draw is the picturesque courtyard / balconies in this small museum. This is included with some other small museums as part of the Citadel visitor ticket. (€5)

Recommended visit to see a collection of items related to Gozitan history in terms of folklore, food, tools, furniture, and other antiquities. It is worth getting the ticket to visit the museums Gozo from Heritage Malta, as this is one of the spaces included.

We had a lovely day here, we paid for entry which gave you access to the 5 museums. They are all beautiful kept, the whole place is stunning and worth a visit even if you don’t go in the museums.

Interesting place in Gozo to visit

This was included in the very advantageous and recommended thirty day Heritage Malta Multisite Pass. There were some interesting exhibits but the multimedia video presentations were inaudible.

I did a midday walk here from across the little bridge and absolutely loved the nature and easy walk ability. The tower is a wonderful work of art and I'm glad it's still in excellent condition. This is one of the single most wondrous views you can have of Gozo as you will see the greenery, water, and cliffs in one.

Great short walk from Xlendi Bay. Sensible footwear recommended but for the daft and adventurous flip flops, sliders and Crocs on speed mode is doable.Spectacular views of the imposing cliffs opposite the tower and the salt pans can be accessed via a path next to the watch tower.

Great little Landmark for Xlendi, we didn't stay too long as it was 29°c in the middle of the day with absolutely no shade, but really cool nonetheless. It was obviously locked, so you couldn't go inside, but still a nice walk, if not a little steep and a beaten up pathway.

Xlendi Tower, located on the southwestern coast of Gozo, Malta, is a historic coastal watchtower with breathtaking views over Xlendi Bay and the open sea. Built in 1650 during the rule of the Order of Saint John, it is the oldest free-standing coastal watchtower on Gozo. The tower served as a defensive outpost, protecting the island from pirate attacks and unauthorized landings. Today, Xlendi Tower is a well-preserved landmark, offering visitors a glimpse into Malta’s rich maritime history while serving as an excellent vantage point for sightseeing, photography, and hiking. --- History and Architecture Xlendi Tower was constructed under Grand Master Jean Paul Lascaris Castellar’s rule as part of a broader network of coastal defenses. Unlike the larger Wignacourt Towers on Malta, Xlendi Tower is relatively small, built with thick limestone walls and a square layout to withstand attacks. Originally, it was armed with cannons and manned by a small garrison tasked with monitoring the coastline and deterring potential threats. The tower played an important role in Gozo’s defense system for centuries before becoming obsolete in the 19th century. Eventually, it fell into disrepair but was restored by Din l-Art Ħelwa, a Maltese heritage trust, ensuring its preservation. --- Visiting Experience Location & Accessibility Xlendi Tower is perched on a rocky promontory at the edge of Xlendi Bay, offering sweeping sea views. It is easily accessible by car or a short hike from Xlendi village. The path leading to the tower is well-defined, making it a manageable walk for most visitors. Scenic Views The tower provides a panoramic outlook over Xlendi Bay and the surrounding cliffs, making it a fantastic spot for photography. Sunset views from here are particularly stunning. Restoration & Interior Access While the exterior is well-maintained, the tower is sometimes closed to the public. However, on select open days or by special arrangement, visitors can explore the interior and rooftop, where historic artifacts and informational plaques provide insight into its history. Hiking & Outdoor Activities The area around Xlendi Tower is ideal for hiking. Trails along the cliffs offer incredible views, and adventurous visitors can continue along the coast to places like Sanap Cliffs or the Kantra Valley. --- Pros & Cons Pros: ✔️ Stunning coastal views ✔️ Rich historical significance ✔️ Great for photography and hiking ✔️ Well-preserved structure Cons: ❌ Limited opening hours for interior access ❌ No on-site facilities (no restrooms or cafes) ❌ Can be windy and exposed to the elements --- Conclusion Xlendi Tower is a must-visit site for history enthusiasts, nature lovers, and photographers. While its interior access is limited, the surrounding scenery and historical ambiance make it a rewarding stop. Whether you visit for the history or the views, Xlendi Tower stands as a symbol of Gozo’s resilient past and offers one of the best vantage points on the island.

Seriously amazing at sunset!! The landscape puts on a show. I think we got a doubly cool experience because it was a really windy evening and the waves were crashing. Magic!

It is a gorgeous place. Here you can spend a very beautiful time alone or with you want climbing or simply walking along the amazing bay here. You can take fantastic photos, specially at sunset time. Then, you can enjoy a fantastic time in the afternoon, when the wind is blowing on the coast where you can have a very restoring nap laying on the flat rocks!

Nice walk across the stone bridge over the valley to the tower, then while there, walk along the cliffs for some amazing views!

With a little hike, you can see such gorgeous view. Pick a less windy day, go to Gozo! Would be nice to watch sunset here as well.

It’s a very calming experience being here. You can travel here by bus and will have to walk 10mins or so to get to the cliffs.

Wow! The view is priceless. You can either come from Ta' Ċenċ (10 minutes on foot from the bus stop), or you can take a beautiful 3h hike from Mgarr (which we did and it was the highlight of our stay I Malta). The cliffs are just stunning.

We went to see the sunset there and it was incredible.

Beautiful. It was a reminder of the Cliffs of Moher at home - but better weather

Difficult to find the way - somehow after the parking lot of the spa hotel just going in the direction to the cliffs

Very nice place if you like nature and hiking. My partner and I witnessed the sunset in November, it was windy but gorgeous. I'm afraid of heights, but I managed to walk fine, but cautiously. Do keep in mind: -if you want to see the sunset, do get there ahead of time!! (as you have might have to cross privately properties) -it might not be easy to get to the cliffs (you might need to cross private property) -if you are afraid of heights, the cliffs and views might be too much/frightening

Kantra Valley, located near Xlendi on the southern coast of Gozo, is a hidden gem known for its unspoiled beauty and peaceful atmosphere. Nestled between rugged limestone cliffs and the crystal-clear Mediterranean Sea, this secluded spot offers a perfect escape for nature lovers, hikers, and those seeking tranquility away from the crowds. The valley is accessible via a scenic walk from the Xlendi area, leading through breathtaking coastal landscapes. The trail winds past steep cliffs, offering panoramic sea views, and eventually descends into a quiet cove with striking rock formations and small caves. The clear waters here make it an ideal spot for swimming, snorkeling, and even a bit of cliff jumping for the adventurous. Unlike more touristy locations in Gozo, Kantra Valley remains relatively undiscovered, allowing visitors to enjoy its raw natural beauty in peace. It’s also a fantastic place for photography, especially during sunset when the golden hues reflect off the limestone rocks. The surrounding area is home to diverse flora and fauna, making it an enjoyable spot for wildlife enthusiasts. However, visitors should be prepared for the lack of facilities—there are no restrooms or cafes nearby, so bringing water and snacks is recommended. The rocky terrain can also be challenging, so good walking shoes are advisable. Overall, Kantra Valley is a breathtaking and serene destination, perfect for those looking to experience Gozo’s rugged coastline in its purest form.

Lovely and easy walk from Xlendi Bay. All paved with seating and benches scattered along the path. Great spot for the beginning on the sunset, however, the cliff does block the suns final decent.

Beautiful serene spot with public benches, or for hiking to Sanap Cliffs

One of the best-hidden gems in Gozo and Malta! Xlendi is such a wonderful little city and I love the walk you can take in the winter along the spraying sapphire water. If you go further, you can take a hike across the little Lord of the Rings bridge to the Xlendi Tower, which is locked. Spend a peaceful hour or two here!

Beautiful. Clear water. Great food near there

Beautiful.

Beautiful beach but recently we went in the afternoon and we found access restricted. Its a pity.

Quaint church. Nice service

Nice beautiful chapel.

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful chapel (Original) Kappella helena hafna

Wonderful small shop with wines, local jams, olives, honey, and fresh vegetables. The owner is welcoming and lovely.

Even though the wineyard is being renovated and everything happens in a small shop, the food was great (we loved the tomato paste and olive oil) and the tasting of their wines is free. Also the hostess is an interesting and funny woman that made the whole experience really enjoyable. High value products for the price. Highly recommended

This may be the most hidden of Gozo’s many gems. An incomparable experience of authentic Gozitan wine, food, history, and culture was had here. My wife and I were offered immeasurable hospitality and generosity as we were treated to Ħobż biż-żejt (bread with sweet tomato paste and olive oil), a wide variety of locally-produced red and white wine, Gozitan cheese, and gluten free sweets (my wife is celiac). As lovers of wine, we can say that this multi-generational family of grape-growers and wine-makers is producing some of the finest wine at the best prices on Gozo. Of equal quality is their homemade tomato pastes, jellies and jams, and sweet treats. Do not pass by their unassuming store front—there is excellence within.

Such a charming little store with fresh local produce, preserves, liqueur, wine, cheeses and more. Definitely go here if you’re around the area - the lady in the shop is so lovely and offered us a taste of her beautiful wines and fruit liqueurs, which were so unique and flavoursome. Go here while visiting Gozo!

We came on a Saturday afternoon, visited the farm and listened to Joseph share about the family history and experiences of running the Ta Mena Estate. It's evident that it's a hard business to run, especially with the high standards of organic production that they have. The wines and antipasti were delicious, especially the Rosé and the Gabillott (red) wines as well as the tomato paste! All around a great experience and excellent value for money!

The estate is a bit different from the winery. As of 8/31/24, the estate is undergoing renovation. However, there is a small shack by the estate entrance where you can try the wines made here along with a lot of tomatoes, paste, and other items. The hostess was very nice and let you try the wines at your own pace.

A fabulous shop selling delicious, unique local produce. We bought olives, jams and oranges from here and were so pleased with everything. The tomato paste is a must too! It was so lovely visiting a family-run shop that has been there for many years, and service was so friendly. We are so glad we came across Ta Mena!

One of the beautiful basilicas in Gozo. Its large unsupported dome is the main attraction. One has to be modestly dressed to visit the church. I was wearing a sleeveless top so had to cover my arms with a white piece of cloth provided by the church.

We visited the Rotunda of St. John the Baptist and found it to be a beautiful church with very interesting architecture. The church was renovated in 1951 (if I remember correctly). To enjoy the full panorama, you need to pay €3 per adult for the elevator that takes you up to the 3rd floor. Children go for free. The view from the top is truly stunning. However, the area upstairs is not well maintained, there was some mess, one statue was damaged, and there were bricks and construction materials lying around. Still, it’s a very nice experience for just a small price.

It's a church built within a church, great history, one could climb onto the rotunda by means of a lift against a small fee of 3 euros. The views from top are fantastic,it's a must to visit if you are in Gozo. The good thing is that the open bus passes exactly in front of the church. In the square in front of the church some good restaurants which are value for money.

Beautiful church set high with incredible views around. Free parking available in front. Free to enter but please cover up and leave an offering. Staff around for questions.

Great spot, with elevator you can go to the roof top

The first time we went here, there was a funeral procession, so we were not allowed to enter. We decided to visit again and the 2nd try was well worth it. Please be sure to take the elevator to the roof - the views are amazing. Architecture delightful inside and out. It was decorated for the holidays so was extra beautiful. Has a small museum in the back area, pretty interesting artifacts!

Amazing place to visit. I am always amazed at the architecture.

Visited because it was included with the Ġgantija Archaeological Park ticket, so I mean why not. A cute windmill to visit, kind workers, clean bathroom, organized and clean site. Tight at the top with others but a great conversation starter for sure 😆. Overall pretty good

If you’ve never been inside a windmill before, this is definitely worth a visit. It’s a unique experience where you can also read a lot about Malta’s history and how important bread was in daily life.

Entry to the museum is €10 on a combined ticket with the nearby Ggantija Archeological park (the latter makes is worthwhile) or €13 as part of a combined ticket that includes 5 Citadella museums in Victoria (Citadella visitor centre), museum of archaeology, old prison, Gran Castillo historic house, and nature museum) as well as the Ggantija Archeological park and Ta Kola windmill. The windmill makes for an enjoyable 15 minute visit, but I wouldn't trek out to Ggantija just to see it. It is also wholly unsuitable for people who cannot handle lots of twisting stairs (you can see it from the outside though). The windmill is prettier on the outside than the inside, so you may not wish to actually pay for entry of you don't have a ticket for the nearby Archeological park.

We only visited because entry was included in the Ggantija ticket, but I'm very glad we did. A beautiful old windmill that a local man kept working until he died in the 1980s. He was a blacksmith too, and seemed to have made all his own tools. It was great to be able to walk to the very top and see the shaft and gears close up, and marvel at the construction from around 270 years ago. If you're visiting Ggantija it's well worth the 2-minute walk to visit.

We bought the combo ticket which included entry to the temples. There was no waiting time, the staff were friendly, and the windmill was quaint and well-preserved.

This is a very interesting museum, situated just a five-minute walk from the Ġgantija Temples.

Very interesting with lots of artifacts to see inside and great views from the top of the windmill's windows.

Enjoyed it very much. Good food good company

Lovely place with several restaurants and many spots where you can swim. Also live music entertainment every Monday all summer long. Beautiful walks by the seaside leading to Xwejni bay and further in. Worth a visit.

It is not impressive as others write. Ordinary coast with cafes and hotels. All of southern Europe with the same promenades, nothing special. It's true that the food in cafes is amazing.

Very nice bay on the north side of Gozo, with great eating and drinking options. There isn’t much of a beach, as is usual on Gozo, but there are plenty of places you can jump or walk into the warm sea, and roped off areas for children. We had a great afternoon here and would consider staying here in the future.

The Gozo island of Malta is a remarkable place. Maltese by birth but a English citizen since a child I’ll be giving a honest review. Gozo is a stand alone island from Malta with a verity of locations. The island is more a relaxed location which is great for exploring, relaxing, visiting and shopping. as we have a flat in Gozo I’m able to say their a fair few shopping locations including a smaller shopping centre and a Lidl’s. The experience is pleasant and rememberable and with out a doubt enjoyable. This is not a drinking holiday location but the Friday and Saturday night are entertaining and good.

I love this place and how close it is to major tourist sites

Love this bay. Ample restaurants

We had a fantastic time very professional company boat was very well maintained. We hired the boat for 6 hours from 13.00 and had a really good time very easy to use and they teach you all you need to now before you leave. We managed to go all the way around the island of Gozo and ended up at the blue lagoon late afternoon which was better because it was getting quieter. We stopped twice and dropped the anchor and had a swim and snorkel with the gear they provided at no extra cost. They also provided us with a cooler box with ice inside to keep your drinks cool so don’t forget to take drinks with you we also took a packed lunch with us. Swimming with the fish was a real treat an experience we won’t forget. The cost of the hire was very good value considering we had the boat for 6 hours and we used 30 euros of fuel which you pay for in cash when you get back. We will definitely be doing this again next time we’re there.

Reasonably priced, lovely staff, very efficient service. We went for the full day 9-5 andit was definitely worth it. Although the blue lagoon was nice, there was better does around the island. We just found out was to busy for what it is. Better to travel around to spots that are more peaceful. Thankfully having your own busy already you to have this freedom. Great overall, would happily book again.

This company was recommended to us by our AirBnB host, and we are so glad we used them. We were handled with professionalism at every step of the booking process, the boat was perfectly clean and in great shape, and we had a great three-hour private tour around Gozo. Our driver/guide Carl was friendly, knowledgeable, and handled the boat beautifully.

Took out a self drive boat yesterday with a couple friends and had the best afternoon at a beautiful secluded bay. The boat was very comfortable and simple to drive, putting the anchor down was a challenge but overall the whole process was so much fun! I have booked again for another afternoon this week! Highly recommend Xlendi Water Sports! Very efficient and friendly boat hire!

We had a party ranging in ages from 7 to 73, and everyone had a fantastic morning with John Paul. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves swimming in the crystal-clear waters, and John Paul was so knowledgeable, sharing plenty of fascinating history along the way. We’ll definitely be back to Gozo – such a lovely boat tour! Caroline

We had a lovely morning boat ride from Xlendi. Better to go in the morning before the water gets too crowded with other boats. Our driver Eddy was very skilled. We loved going in and out of the arches and caves. Highly recommend!

We had a 4 hour boat tour with our skipper Noel who was absolutely brilliant. We went all around the island of Comino with multiple swimming spots along the way. Would highly recommend Xlendi Bay Watersports

The Hil-Hagar Museum is a The Hil-Hagar Museum is a little art gallery situated next to St George's Church in Victoria largey dedicated to the work of the Maltese artist Norbert Attard. It's free to enter but seems ignored by tourists which is a shame because it is really excellent. Not to be missed if you're spending any time on Gozo!

This is a charming little museum tucked away in the side streets near the entrance to the basilica in Victoria. Lovely friendly welcome with a brief explanation particularly of a local artist who had made pictures out of smashed ceramics and glass. These were incredible artistry and such a skill to have to produce such pictures of such high quality. Very clean and bright throughout with toilets available and free entry too (voluntary donations on exit but no pressure) -loved it!

Amazing - free, but donations appreciated. Multilevel historical building of rooms filled with local historical and religion related artefacts chronologically telling story of Malta and Maltese part in global historical events. Space is used also as an art gallery, currently with stunning exhibition proving that creative mind can create beauty by upcycling discarded porcelain (mugs and plates), jewellery and even zippers. One can easily spend hours here admiring and learning. Will definitely visit again.

Beautiful museum and free! 4 floors full of art! The only downside was the lack of ac unfortunately which made being indoors almost unbearable :/

What a pleasure to enter in this beautiful free museum. Very interesting to discover the maltasian history. The Kansan guy at the entrance was so nice it was a pleasure to talk to him! We will come again even if we live in France. We want to see him again !

A delightful museum & art exhibition venue in the centre of Gozo. We went to see the W. Apap art, but there’s so much more to feast your eyes on. Beautifully curated art, clerical items, ancient coins and even a prehistoric skull. No entrance fees but donations are accepted - and totally worth a token of appreciation. There’s also a caffè on the roof however we preferred to walk 2 minutes to the village square.

Lovely little place that I really didn't expect, and much larger inside than expected at first. Articles on display are from various churches and are superb. Lots of information on the church and the articles history. Well worth a visit. Look out for special events like this one for Christmas 2019. Lovely brass band playing and it's free too but please donate something if you have enjoyed your visit 😉

Fantastic shop. Excellent guides. Expert knowledge of diving in Gozo and anticipate the needs of technical divers. We had a fun time diving with their fleet DPVs as well! They even gave us the option to do some boat diving to break up the shore dives. They were very flexible too in terms of dive locations and always had a backup plan in case the wind wasn’t cooperating. They were not just professional but they were also so much fun to spend time with. Can’t wait to come back and do it all over again!!!

Tom Steiner and Gozo Technical Diving it's without a doubt the place to go if you look for excellence in Technical Diving. Superb diving and teaching skills. 10/10

Gozo Technical Diving left us with a disappointing experience after a 6-day diving trip with 4 divers, including 3 CCR divers and 1 OC diver. We had clearly communicated in advance that we wanted to dive on historical wrecks, which was initially confirmed for around €500 per dive. However, upon arrival, the price suddenly increased to €750, and it had to be split between more divers, who eventually showed up only at the end of the 5th diving day, and didn’t even want to do a wreck dive. This led to poor planning and unmet expectations. The owner, Tom Steiner, didn't seem enthusiastic. He showed little involvement, didn’t ask about our experiences, and didn’t offer any tips or advice. Despite paying for unguided dives on top of the equipment rental, there was a clear lack of passion and customer service. For the price you pay, you expect better organization and service. Fortunately, the rest of the staff was friendly, and we met other divers on site. However, the promised wreck dive with the boat never happened. Overall, it was poorly managed by Mr. Steiner, who seemed to prefer smoking his cigarettes at the dive center rather than engaging with his clients.

Just posted a full review on trip advisor about what a great time we had here. Summarized: excellent and professional staff of experienced divers guiding and providing transportation around this beautiful island to dive the fantastic shipwrecks, walls, fissures, caverns and more. Loved the staff and the dive sites. Higher caliber divers guiding and everything technical a technical or recreational diver may want. Check out this review of Gozo Diving on Tripadvisor: https://www.tripadvisor.ca/ShowUserReviews-g190319-d1235493-r946433197-Gozo_Diving-Xewkija_Island_of_Gozo.html

We are a family of four, that wanted to try diving. We had a half day private intro and it was just great - we had the feeling the instructors had all the time in the world for us. Very friendly staff and kind of a relaxed family feeling. Can only recommend it!

Just had a weeks diving with GTD and what a great experience. Friendly and extremely knowledgeable team at this dive centre. Coupled with fantastic facilities for all types of diving, there really is no other place to go.

Professional, friendly staff, great equipment, perfect Tec set-up. Loved our 6 days of wreck & blue hole diving with these guys. Would absolutely dive with them again. Tom is a legend.

A great place for hiking, there are more trees and a fountain nearby, a very nice walk in nature

I love this place in the countryside. Fresh air water falls green everywhere farmers working their land an idilic place. Gozo is still beautiful.

Beautiful surroundings pity that you can't walk further down the valley...

This is not the location of the chapel itself. This street junction leads down steps to it.

Nice views in splendid place.

Beautiful and tranquil place. Lovely for a walk in the nature . Historically

Beautiful little valley. Worth a visit if you only have 15 to 30 minutes so you can sample (and snap) some of the most picturesque views on Gozo.

Stunning views and it somehow looks like out of this world

Really enjoyed this place.

Absolutely worth the short hike to see this if you are in Xlendi Bay - to include the Eroded Rock right next to it!

One of the best hidden gem, worthy to spend an evening. Surprise thing is eroded rock.

A really nice quit location, and a good hiking spot.

Great views from here!

(Translated by Google) A place of preserved nature and very beautiful, access via the stone bridge makes for a picturesque walk. It's a shame the tower is closed to visitors. (Original) Lugar de natureza preservada e muito bonito, acesso pela ponte de pedra faz o passeio pitoresco. Pena a torre estar fechada a visitação.

A beautiful hidden away cove with crystal clear waters. It was almost deserted when we got there. A little kiosk at the top for fruit and hydration - but only takes cash so be prepared. Cheap umbrella & sunbed hire but we spent more time in the water than lying on the rocks so we didn’t hire anything. You can swim under the rocks and swim in the water in the shade if you want to get out of the sun. Some steep steps to get down there, but families with young kids were managing fine. Would not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues or those not stable on their feet. This was the highlight of our Gozo trip! Just beautiful!

Beautiful sheltered & shaded pebble beach within a high-sided gorge connected to the sea. Well worth the walk down the steep steps from the gravel track at the top. In calm conditions and if you’re comfortable with 200m swim each way, a snorkel out to the open sea is also a great experience.

Really cool place to snorkel in Gozo. Dramatic scenery with water clearer as you get away from the tiny beach. The road leading to a small parking place is very rugged but ok for most cars. The decent is steep but there's some steps to use. Really worthwhile to visit.

This secluded pebbled beach is a haven for those seeking to enjoy the Mediterranean in peace and quiet. The area sits between the town of Żebbuġ and Ġordan Hill. The sea here flows into the valley from between two beautiful cliffs. The area is great for snorkeling. The bottom of the pebbled beach can be accessed through a flight of steps.

Great place to visit for a cool swim BUT the water is quite dirty. I am sure the authorities can keep cleaner. For small cars, the last 200 meters are challenging, better to leave it park on the main road. If you are traveling with kids, bear in mind the stairs.

From Viktoria, take 309 bus and stop at Onici. You will have to walk straight down until you’re near the sea - it will take you about 20mins. If you have a car, you can go directly 1) until you see a lot of cars parked 2) go past the rough road. Either way, you will see a ‘natural’ staircase. Follow it. You can rent sunbeds and umbrella but there are no restrooms or shower area. The water is refreshing and clear when we went there and there is a covered area where you can swim under the shade. There is also an area for kids but the water goes deeper as you swim in the middle. People dive in this area. I would also recommend wearing aqua shoes as the stones are quite painful to walk with barefoot.

Takes about 10 minutes to walk down from where our uber could drop us. We decided against a swim as we thought the water looked quite dirty. I do REALLY recommend however walking along the coast from here to the next beach along across the salt pans, incredible geology and stunning cliff top views, very easy and flat walk right to next destination and takes about 30 mins

By boat it’s a nice break from the crowds but still a little too crowded. If you’re looking for secluded coves probably need to leave Malta and head to Greece. Be careful in water as day trippers can rent boats.

Visited during a boat tour. Didn't see so much apart from the Azure Window. Great landscape and views!

Is a boat trip and must go. The scene and water are so nice and clean. Sometimes unable to go out if the weather is bad because the waves are too strong.

The One of the most beautiful place in malta! It's a part of malta. So quiet area. Mostly Malta's farming located in gozo. Landscapes are so nice.

Highly recommended for anybody who likes cliffs (!), citadels, rural /Mediterranean landscapes. Public transport (buses) can get you anywhere here, and cheaply, but it takes quite a lot time as the buses ride slowly (10 - 15 km per hour on average due to large number of stops). Lovely, peaceful place.

I love Gozo, easy to get too. A pleasant thirty minute ferry ride with a car or take the high speed ferry from Valetta. Lots to do and many great swimming spot.

Super place to visit. No need for specialist excursions, just use Malta Public Buses and the fast ferries for a fraction of the cost. Gozo has a beautiful Citadel and some great photo opportunities.

Not very big, but worth a visit if you're nearby. The story - finding a cave while digging a well, and the spending years to dig it out - is fascinating. We were given a tour by the great-great-great-great-grandson 🙂

Pretty incredible little stop in the city, the two granddaughters of the man who discovered the cavern face a very good guided tour. Would recommend if you’re trying to get out of the heat for a bit.

Well worth a visit and very beautiful to see. The tour was great and very interesting. We were shown round by a little old Maltese lady who was the granddaughter of the man who discovered it while digging it out for a well. She told stories and the names of different stalactites and rock formations that have been passed down through generations. The tour lasted about 30 minutes and has no set price, all she asked is for a small donation minimum of 3 euros. But feel free to donate more as it's well worth it.

Lovely little grotto underneath the houses. Lots of other posts with info and I wouldn’t want to take away from the hosts presentation as we were shown around by a great, great (not sure how many greats) granddaughter and younger sister (?) of the man that first dug in to the grotto. Very sweet and worth a quick visit.

One of the most unique experiences in Gozo. The cave is 8 meters below the ground, and the tour is led by a descendant of the man who discovered it, which makes it even more special. She explains things really well.

What a cool spot! Under someone’s house, you ring a bell and pay €3 and it’s a quick 10-15min guided tour

Mary-Ann opened up the grotto and gave us a private tour. Originally dug out for a well to 14m in 1923 by her husband's grandfather, he instead found the grotto. For years he worked away to create a mini labyrinth of fascinating stalactites and stalagmites, opening to the public after WWII. What a great marvel, given the tools of the time. Definitely make time to stop by. For 3 euros, it's a "must do ".
