Small Group, Gozo Island Tour from Valletta

Ggantija, Xaghra, Malta

TOURING MALTA

Embark on an enriching journey with our seasoned guide, traversing charming villages and immersing oneself in awe-inspiring vistas. Witness the island’s pinnacle offerings, encompassing the ancient Ggantija Temples and the fortified Citadel of Victoria.



Our tour commences with a rapid ferry service from Valletta to the charming port of Mgarr, offering visitors a glimpse into the serene beauty of Gozo. Upon arrival, the allure of the island becomes evident as the landscape transitions from urban to rural, showcasing a greener environment and a smaller population compared to Malta.

Our itinerary comprises a blend of scenic vistas, historic landmarks, local customs, and culinary delights. We begin by exploring a renowned 75-year-old traditional bakery in one of the region’s towns, where artisans meticulously prepare breads and other baked goods, allowing visitors to sample these artisanal creations firsthand.

Following this, we journey to the magnificent Ggantija Temples, ancient structures believed to date back approximately 5,500 years, standing testament to the architectural prowess of prehistoric times. The adjacent visitor center houses artifacts excavated from both the temple complex and the nearby Xaghra Circle, providing insights into the cultural heritage of Gozo.

A scenic route traverses quaint, secluded villages characterized by their distinctive charm. Alongside this picturesque drive lies the Calypso Cave Belvedere, situated atop a hill offering panoramic views of the Red Sands of Ramla Bay and the verdant valleys leading towards Xwejni Bay.

Continuing our exploration, we reach the captivating Dwejra site, renowned for its ecological and geological significance, featuring the Blue Hole, The General's Rock, and Inland Sea. The dramatic cliffs and rugged coastline offer expansive vistas, creating a striking contrast against the backdrop of Gozo’s natural landscapes.

Next, we venture to the picturesque seaside village of Xlendi, known for its picturesque bayside setting with a sandy beach and waterfront restaurants. During this segment, visitors are afforded ample time for a leisurely lunch break amidst the idyllic surroundings.

Post-lunch, we proceed to the capital city of Gozo, Victoria, where the 'Citadel' stands out prominently. This medieval fortress, built during the Bronze Age period, provides a fascinating insight into the strategic importance of the location. As we ascend to its commanding position, we're rewarded with a breathtaking vista of the entire island and even the northern coast of Malta.

Finally, we conclude our tour with a return trip to Valletta aboard the ferry service.
