Full description of the activity
Pickup at your hotel in the morning.
After a twenty minute crossing, on setting foot in Gozo you will note that although both islands are similar in history and development, Gozo has a character entirely of its own.
Gozo, which is a three hilled island, is greener and more picturesque than Malta.
During this tour you will visit The National Shrine of the Blessed Virgin of Ta’ Pinu which is a Roman Catholic basilica and national shrine located 700 metres from the village of Gharb.
The basilica is located in the edge of a cliff in open countryside which allows visitors to enjoy beautiful views of the area.
You will then visit Dwejra Bay where you could see until 8th March 2017, a natural arch featuring a table-like rock over the sea. Here, you will also see The Inland Sea & il-Gebla tal-General.
If weather permits, you can also purchase a short boat ride.
A visit to a Crafts Shop is a must. At this shop you will see stone works, marble, traditional food, local lace and many other items.
This is the perfect place where you can buy a souvenir which will remind you of Gozo.
You will then visit Victoria which is the capital of Gozo. Victoria is the name given in 1897 by the British government on the occasion of Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee, at the request of the Bishop of Malta, Mons. Sir Pietro Pace.
However Gozitans still often refer to it by its old name, Rabat.
The area around Victoria, situated on a hill near the centre of the island has been settled since Neolithic times.
In the centre of Victoria lies The Cittadella, a historic fortified city. The Cittadella also called at The Citadel, is on Malta’s tentative list of future World Heritage Sites by UNESCO, who describes it as a small fortified town.
An old prison is located within the city, as are the Courts of Justice.
After this visit you will stop for lunch in a restaurant in Rabat.
Finally you will drive to Mgarr Port via Qala Belvedere where breath-taking scenes can be enjoyed.
You will then have a short ferry crossing back to Malta and will be dropped-off at your hotel.
