~MALTA~ Gozo Island Tour 2018

Hey everyone :) Today we are doing something very different, we are going to an island tour to the island of Gozo :) Gozo is an island part of the islands of Malta and is found to the north. We start off at Cirkewwa Harbour at Mellieha in Malta to board the ferry that takes you to Gozo. The ferrytrips are only 30 minutes long and work 24 hours. We arrive to Gozo and exit the Gozo ferry terminal and then we explore the harbour and the village of Ghajnsielem. We see spectacular views of the sea and port there. After we go to the city of Victoria or as known by locals ''Rabat'' ( No connection to Rabat in Malta btw ) and go to the shopping centers, the busy streets and then we go to a beautiful public garden. After we go up the main road to the Piazza known as ''It- Tokk'' and explore the village core adorned by St George's Basilica in the middle of the narrow streets and cafes. We continue go up the hill and enter the stunning Cittadella. The Cittadella is a historic fortified city dating as back as 1241. We explore the narrow streets and go to the piazza adorned with the huge Cathedral of Santa Maria and we also check out the beatiful interior. We go around the bastions and end up to a stunning view of Gozo and parts of Malta from the bastions. Next we go to the quiet tiny but stunning village of Zebbug ( No connection to Zebbug in Malta btw ). This village has incredible views of the sea and has a small piazza adorned with the beautiful parish church and has two restuarants. We go down the road to the touristic seaside village of Marsalforn. This village is a popular summer residence among locals and tourists. Here you find a beach, restuarants, shops, clubs and hotels. We then go to the popular Catholic religious site of Ta' Pinu, found a near the village of Gharb. This Basilica is popular for the visions of Our Lady from the titular painting back in 1883. Today devotion is among catholics across the world. The titular painting was crowned by Pope Saint John Paul II in May 1990. Our final stop is at the touristic village of Xlendi which is popular by locals and tourists. The village has many summer apartments, bars, small guesthouses and hotels. Xlendi is also popular for the seaside cliffs and the rocky beach. And that was the end of our trip :) Hope you enjoyed and have a great day :)
