    5 Stars Gozo Calypso - hear all about it! Review with images 27/11/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Compact island, beautiful scenery, historical sites

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No airport

    Should I or shouldn’t I let you into a secret? Malta is a favourite holiday destination of ours and as we have a timeshare based there we usually go at least once a year. This year we flew to Malta but had a taxi straight to the ferry and went to Gozo, often described along with Comina as one of the sister islands, this small island is a wee gem in my book and has certainly made us want to return and enjoy the delights it has to offer. *Size* Gozo is 67square kilometres, 14km long and 7 km wide, with a population of around 23,000, which increases as the ferry brings tourists each day to ... more

    4 Stars Going to (a) Gozo Review with images 03/09/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Beautiful, nicer than Malta, lots of history and natural sights

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not so great for families

    I must admit that my initial impressions of Malta were not good. We were under the impression that a Terravision bus operated between the airport at Luqa, and the main resorts but when we touched down, we found out that the bus only turns up if passengers have booked in advance. Arriving in our resort did nothing to alter my views; it was altogether too British and really quite grim. My partner who had been to Malta before, had an idea of what would change my opinion and suggested an excursion to Gozo, the smaller island which, along with tiny and only seasonally inhabited Comino, joins the ... more

    5 Stars the magic of Gozo 28/01/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages tranquil, beautiful and friendly

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not for young children

    I've been to Gozo several times now. Our neighbours own an apartment there so we have stayed several times. The island of Gozo is absolutely beautiful. It is a very agricultural island - you cannot escape the fresh produce anywhere. I found it somewhat more enjoyable than the main island of Malta, maybe because of the leap between the tranquil sights and sounds of Gozo compared to the more tourist friendly built up area of Malta. The thing I would most recommend doing on Gozo is seeing the azure window. We had a boat trip out and around near the azure window which, surprisingly for Gozo ... more

    5 Stars A worthwhile day trip to gozo. 21/03/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Small and friendly, sandy beaches, various places to visit, short ferry from Malta.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Ferry from Malta quite expensive, places not very well signposted, poor bus service.

    We frequently holiday to Malta and would highly recommend a day trip to the island of Gozo. We found it much better to hire a car and drive ourselves as the bus service in Malta is fantastic but once the ferry docks at Gozo the buses are very infrequent. The ferry between Malta and Gozo runs approximately every half an hour and takes about half an hour to cross the water. In recent years we have noticed the cost of the ferry has increased but we find it is still a very worthwhile trip. There is a daily market in the capital of Victoria which sells lots of local goods, and the people are ... more
