Gozo Is a Hidden Gem in the Mediterranean, How to Visit

"A small, 26-square-mile island in the Maltese archipelago that feels like an island getaway where the waters are electric blue, the history runs deep, and the crowds are thin; it's tailor-made for rest and relaxation rather than partying, yet still offers plenty for outdoor enthusiasts. I've found it comfortably inhabited for thousands of years, and practical tips include exchanging dollars for euros before you go. The best time for swimming is summer (June–September) when average highs reach the mid-80s, while the shoulder seasons (April–May and mid-September–November) offer pleasant 70s temperatures." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.
