General presentation
Gozo et Comino
Prehistoric temples, citadel, limestone cliffs and light coves offer a more rural counterpoint to the main island.
Temples of Together, they form a destination where island landscapes, coastline, heritage and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than a single uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 6 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Culture and heritage
Temples de Ġgantija
The temples of Rather than a spectacular decor, the site offers a direct encounter with a very old prehistoric architecture: curved walls, massive thresholds, ritual spaces and views of the hills around Xagsra.
Place indismissible
Citadelle de Victoria
Victoria's citadel dominates Gozo from a fortified promontory, with cathedral, alleys, museums and ramparts open on the central plateau. The place changes according to the hour: golden stones, village bell towers, terraced fields and sea away; it gives a complete view of the island without leaving the city.
Place indismissible
Baie de Dwejra
Dwejra remains one of the most powerful landscapes of Gozo despite the disappearance of the old Window d Azur. False, inland sea, reefs and blue hole make up a mineral setting where the swell decides many activities; divers, walkers and photographers each find a different angle.
Place indismissible
Blue Lagoon de Comino
The Blue Lagoon de Comino is famous for its turquoise channel between clear rocks and shallow sandy bottoms. The beauty of the site is accompanied by a high attendance and very little shade; morning or off-season hours offer a more legible experience, especially for swimming.
