About Gozo

 

 

Old Stone Balcony - Gozo
by Brian Cronk


The Maltese Islands of Malta , Gozo, and Comino, lie at the heart of the Mediterranean, 90 km south of Sicily and 290 km from the northern coast of Africa. Gozo is a third the size of Malta, but greener and more rural. Its landscape has hills and deep valleys as well as rugged cliffs, which give natural protection to the island's small harbours and inlets. Life here moves at a leisurely pace, revolving around farming and fishing.

It is an island where time seems to have stood still. There may be de luxe hotels, wonderful small restaurants serving fish caught only hours before being served at the table, and a nightlife in summer to match the very best in Malta but it is all charmingly concealed in a magnificent and truly tranquil landscape. Gozo is where you can also get away to secluded privacy when you want to. Little wonder it has become known as an island paradise.
