(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
After pick-up from your location in Malta around 9:ooam, we will start on our journey to the Cirkewwa Ferry Terminal; located in the North of the country, to take the 09:45am ferry. Once we catch the ferry we have around 30 minutes to reach the island of Gozo. The Citadella - Located in the Capital of Gozo, this imposing fortification is built strategically on a hill giving a dynamic view of the whole island and its landscape. The ramparts are a vantage point for the onlookers and photo enthusiasts. Its roots date back to the late medieval times, but the hill has been settled since Neolithic times. One can spend time wondering along the narrow street and the ramparts, or choose to visit the Fort Visitor centre located in the ditch (accessible for all). One can also choose to go down the hill and try the local pastizzi - a local pastry delight filled with peas or cheese. You are advised to have lunch at this time - ample time will be given to see the site and eat.
Ggantija Archaeological Park
Located in the town of Xaghra, this majestic structure is known to be the oldest freestanding megalithic structure in the world. Consisting of two temples which date back to between 3600 and 3200 BC, the Ġgantija Temples are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The site has the facility to access for all, including its interpretation centre which also deserves a visit. Entrance fee varies from €4 to €8 and sometimes there is possibility to combine it with Ta’ Kola Windmill, located 10 minutes walk away from this site.
Xerri's Grotto
Xerri’s grotto is an underground site in Xaghra, Gozo. This cave was discovered in 1923, underneath a house, while the owners were digging for a well. This small cave is known for its unusual yet colourful alabaster stalactites and stalagmites. There are a few attractive calcification formations that range from a height of 25cm to a metre. The entrance is via a 10 metre spiral staircase, and the cave is artificially illuminated.
