Ġgantija Temples, Xagħra
Around 5,600 years old and older than the Giza pyramids. The stone blocks look bigger in person than in any photo.
Tip: Go at opening time, before the first coaches arrive.

Things to do on Gozo – honestly rated
What is worth it, what you can skip, and where to book the tour or stay right away.
The Citadel, Victoria
The view from the fortress walls across the island belongs on every Gozo list. If time is short, stay on the walls; the museums inside are more of a side note.
Ta' Pinu Basilica, Għarb
A large pilgrimage basilica in the middle of fields, visible from afar. Even if you are not religious, the calm inside is noticeable. A quiet counterpoint to the Citadel.
Dwejra, Blue Hole and Inland Sea
Known among divers but impressive even without gear. The famous Azure Window collapsed years ago, so old photos show something that is gone. Nearby are Fungus Rock and the Inland Sea, a small saltwater lake connected to the open sea by a rock tunnel.
Tip: Come at sunset, when the day-trippers have left.
Ramla Bay and the cave above it
The island's best-known sand beach with red sand. Beautiful but crowded in high season. Above the bay there are caves that open up this view. Calypso's Cave is the best-known viewpoint; the cave itself is small, the outlook is the reason to climb up.
Tip: Early morning is quietest.
San Blas Bay
Smaller and quieter than Ramla. The way down is steep and unpaved; many day-trippers avoid it, so the bay stays manageable.
Tip: Take sturdy shoes, water and some time for the climb back.
Mġarr ix-Xini
A narrow bay between high rock walls in the south-east, popular with snorkellers. More pebble and rock than sand, with calm deep water right at the shore.
Wied il-Mielaħ Window, Għasri
A natural rock arch over the sea, without the crowds that once stood at the Azure Window. Not a place you stumble on by chance.
Tip: The footpath from the road is easy to miss. Allow some time to find it and keep back from the edge.
Experience a village festa
In summer every village on Gozo celebrates its festa: the church is lit for days, with fireworks, brass bands and full streets. Dates shift slightly each year.
Tip: Ask your accommodation which village celebrates during your week.
