Xerri's Grotto

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.

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.

Very neat little attraction you would not expect in the center of a town. The story goes the man's grandfather was digging down to search for water and came across this cave. The stairs descend about 25 ish feet into the ground, and one thing that shocked me was how warm it was. Usually, caves in the ground are 70 degrees F, but this was closer to 80 or 85 degrees. Entry was only 3 euro per person and worth it for a quick stop.

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.

It is 3 euros so its not expensive, but what you get is not exacly stellar. The lady walked us around the cave with very quiet very boring voice. She started with the part how her ancestor discovered a cave and it was ok. But later she just switched to look this rock look like "x" animal, this one looks like bacon do you see it? The cave is interesting and i would love to hear how it came to be or why the rock formations are how they are but all i heard was that random stalactites look like giraffe. The lady seemed really unintrested in providing any info besides the similarities between animals and rocks.

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.

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 🙂

We hired a drive for the day in Gozo, and he suggested this place. Nice stop for 3 Euros. Really interesting cave. It doesn't take long to go through the tour. Definitely stop in if you have the time while in Gozo.
