Gozo

Though separated from mainland Malta by a mere 5km stretch of sea, Gozo is distinctly different from Malta. The Island is a third the size of Malta, more rural and tranquil. Its culture and way of life are rooted in tradition and yet open to the present.
Exuding a relaxed pace of life, Gozo is the ideal secluded haven and at just 20 minutes or so by ferry from Malta, the hop can easily be made for even the shortest stay.
The real beauty of Gozo, apart from its stunning seascape and interior, lies in the villages. Here, it seems as if time really stood still. The locals treasure their peace and the villages are tranquil, providing a wonderful respite from the modern pace that many of the city dwellers have to endure in their everyday life.
You will find that it is comfortable to walk about at any time of day or night. The sense of safety and security is tangible as the locals take pride in the absolute absence of serious crime and the almost non-existence of theft.
For a taste of village life, rent a villa or farmhouse, and a taste of luxury, rent one with a pool or a self-catering apartment. Sea or country views are never hard to find in Gozo, wherever you choose to stay.
