Exploring Rural Gozo

Gozo, Malta's sister island, is perfect for those exploring rural areas. Walking through Gozo's terraced fields, quaint villages, and winding country lanes is a beautiful way to connect with the island's natural landscape. Gozo is known for its slower pace of life, and visitors can take their time discovering sites such as the Ġgantija Temples, the Xwejni Salt Pans, and the beautiful Ta' Pinu Basilica. The island's rural charm and rich history make it an ideal destination for those looking to experience Malta at a more leisurely pace, with opportunities to encounter local farmers, enjoy stunning vistas, and appreciate the traditional way of life.
