ABOUT MALTA

 

G o z o

 

Gozo is the second largest island in the Maltese archipelago. It still has the characteristics it had long ago. Unlike Malta, it is not affected by serious over-development. Life in Gozo is much more quite than in Malta. The Gozitans (as the peaople of the island are called) lead a non-hectic life free of the hustle and bustle. Commerce and business are certainly not on their list of priorities.

Lush meadows, fresh air and splendid beaches dominate the island. And all this along with the friendly Gozitans which are always ready to help you get around. Whilst in Gozo, one should certainly visit the Cittadella , a city enclosed with fortifications, dating back to the fifteenth century.

Lace-making and Gbejna-production (A typr of "small" cheese) are characteristic of Gozo.

A visit to Malta is simply not complete without a trip to Gozo.
