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.

Definitely recommend seeing this Island, only 35K population. Beautiful scenic landscapes, caves and lagoons not too long journey by boat. Lovely experience!

Spent a couple of hours visiting whilst on a boat trip from Malta. Gorgeous island with so much history. Definitely worth a visit!

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

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.

My wife and took an all-day tour, with lunch, from our hotel in Malta to Gozo , with a local Maltese company. It was a long day, but very interesting as our guide was extremely knowledgeable and conscientious too in taking care of everyone throughout the day, and it must have proved to have been an even longer day for her - a real trooper! On a personal basis though, I found it very difficult to maintain concentration when our tour guide switched from English to French (her French was truly excellent!) and vice-versa, when talking about anything of interest, and that's even though I do speak fluent French! It just made it doubly longer, and by the end of the day just a tad boring. If I was to take an excursion again I would would go for one where the chat was going to be just in English, and I understand from the holiday rep. in our hotel that this is indeed possible. However, we found the island to be so different from Malta, greener, cleaner, and indeed more interesting in many ways, with spectacular views and buildings. The coast line was amazing, the boat trip, although short in duration was a real gem!

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.
