There are attractions of every kind in Gozo – historical and natural, religious and family-friendly. The coastline is spectacular with weird and wonderful rock formations lapped by the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean, and the islands 7000-year history makes its mark from cliff-tops to villages, valleys to the great bastion walls of the capital’s Citadel.
The island celebrates many cultural and festive occasions throughout the seasons, crafting extensive programmes for Christmas, Easter, Spring, and Summer.
Among these, the Gozo Carnival stands out, painting the streets in a vibrant palette of hues, where colourful costumes and animated parades captivate visitors.
Equally noteworthy are the weekly village feasts that dot Gozo’s summer calendar, honouring patron saints amidst a backdrop of joyous revelry. These traditional festas evolved from deep-seated religious reverence to lively spectacles, resonating with music, food, and fireworks, infusing summer weekends with sparkle.
