Beschreibung

Delight in an exploration of Gozo Island, visiting a legendary cave, a temple that predates the Great Pyramids and the island’s alluring capital. Board a ferry on the northwestern tip of Malta for the brief crossing to the nearby island of Gozo. You’ll journey inland to the Ggantija Temples, a UNESCO World Heritage site that comprises Malta’s earliest megalithic monuments, which include structures that predate Stonehenge and the Great Pyramids of Egypt. Notice the round, curved architecture, which is said to be an homage to the full-figured goddess of fertility, and find cannon-like stones believed to be the tools used to hoist the site’s multi-ton slabs into place.

Upon reaching Victoria, Gozo’s capital, view its ancient Cittadella and Baroque Cathedral of the Assumption, built in the shape of a Latin cross. Enjoy time on your own to shop or explore further before savoring a traditional Maltese lunch. Perhaps you’ll stroll Xlendi’s inviting seaside promenade during free time as a fitting end to your Gozo Island adventure.
