Highlights of Gozo Tours
Gozo
tours will bring you to a vacation haven that is like no other. When
visiting Malta, a visit to this island must never be missed.
Gozo tours are convenient - it only takes 20 minutes to reach Gozo
via a ferry ride. Reaching Gozo, you will realize how it is not much
different from the rest of Malta. However, Gozo tours provide
attractions and excursions that can not be seen elsewhere in the
islands. Gozo has a distinct character that sets it apart. It is
noticeably greener with richer foliage.
With Gozo tours, you will experience a roster of places of interest
that are breathtaking. Starting off with the Citadel or the Gran
Castello found in Victoria, which will enchant you with its aura of
mystery. It dates back the medieval times; the majestic Cathedral
and the museums housed in the area are worth a visit.
Another special feature of Gozo tours is a visit to the Ggantija.
This architecture dates back 3600 and 2400 BC, making this one of
the earliest architectural structures in the world. It is even much
older than the Stonehenge and the Pyramids of Egypt. The slabs of
the Ggantija weigh several tons and stands six meters high. While in
the area, you can also visit the nearby underground caves in Xaghra,
and the Menhir at Qala.
If you are in the mood for some swimming, the inland sea of Azure
Window is very ideal to include in Gozo tours. Its name can be
attributed to the fact that it resembles a giant window where
underneath the azure waves sparkle and shimmer nicely.
The Dwejra in the south western area is also worth a visit in Gozo
tours. It offers magnificent scenery of the entire island. Behind
the cliffs, you can find the Inland Sea which is a pond of shallow
water. When the water is calm, tourists can ride a boat into the
cliff face's narrow tunnel towards the open Mediterranean and enjoy
the stunning view. Near the Inland Sea lies the Fungus Rock which
was a very popular landmark in history. Both the Fungus Rock and the
Azure Window can be seen when you cruise the tunnel.
Those who love mythology will surely be interested in visiting the
Calypso Cave. According to the popular legend, this is the place
where the nymph Calypso seduced Ulysses and kept him as a prisoner
of love for seven years. According to tourists, there is a strange
feeling that seems to grip you when you enter the cave, and the view
from which is breath-taking. From the shore line, you can see
remains of fortification structures built in the mid 18th century.
Gozo tours are never complete without a visit to one of the popular
bays of Gozo. You can choose from the Ramla Bay, considered to be
one of the most stunning sandy beaches in Malta; the Xlendi, which
is slightly smaller but clean and seemingly more dramatic; or the
Marsalform, which offers a more relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
