Day Tour 3
Tour of the Island of Gozo
Gozo's charm  is apparent the moment you arrive. Greener, more rural and smaller than Malta , the impact of tourism is less visible.  Our tour starts with a pleasant 25 minute ferry crossing.  We feature all the main highlights during our tour including.
Ggantija Temples - the earliest free standing megalithic temples, pre-dating the Pyramids. They were built in 3600 BC.  It is still a mystery how the people of those days were able to move the gigantic boulders some reaching as high as six meters.  According to an old myth, a female giant call "Sansuna" carried the rocks on her head from an area known as Ta’Cenc.
Calypso Cave - situated in the cliff face, this cave has legendary connections with Calypso. According to Homer she charmed Odysseus (Ulysses) into staying on Gozo for seven years. The view from the cave mouth is magnificent and overlooks the fertile Ramla Valley, and the beautiful red sands of Ramla Bay below.
Basilica of Ta'Pinu - The origin of Ta’Pinu goes back to 1883 when a peasant women, Carmela Grima, heard the voice of the Blessed Virgin in a little old chapel.  In 1931 Ta’Pinu was consecrated and in 1932 Pope Pius XI gave it the status of Basilica.  The Basilica is a famous pilgrimage site for Maltese and Gozitans all the year round.
The Citadel or Gran Castello - dominating the heights above Victoria, has impressive battlements.  The origins of this fortified enclave go back to Gozo’s early history under Roman and Arab occupation.  The views from its fortified walls offer panoramas of the whole island,.
Xlendi Bay - is a charming little village and a favourite with visitors and locals alike. The small promenade and beach is lined with restaurants, bars and cafeterias.
Inland Sea/Azure Window - The Azure Window is an impressive natural arch standing some 20metres high.  It is connected to so-called Inland Sea which is a locked-in lake.  The Window  was created when the roof of an immense cave collapsed some 80 to 100metres. Boat trips are available from  the lake and through the tunnel which links the Inland Sea to the open sea and from there to the Azure Window. The boat trip operates subject to weather conditions.
