The islands of Malta, Gozo and Comino make up the Maltese archipelago and between them offer the complete package: beach life, culture and history. From the monuments and palaces of Valletta, to the dive sites of Camino, Malta offers much to explore.Gozo
By hire car, the island of Gozo can be reached in just under an hour and a half via the Cirkewwa-Mgarr route, which includes a short ferry crossing. More rugged and rural than Malta, Gozo is ideal for those looking for rest and relaxation. A number of scuba diving sites are here too, as well as a range of historical landmarks and forts. Visit Ggantija, Malta’s best preserved prehistoric temple during your visit. For some fine examples of medieval fortified towns, head to Gozo’s Mdina and Cittadella. The latter has been inhabited since the Bronze Age.
