Gozo is an island that is largely unknown to the outside world. The scenery and lifestyle provides a tranquil retreat from the frantic pace of modern life. Thought to be the mythical Isle of Calypso of Homer’s Odyssey, the charm of Gozo is apparent on arrival. The countryside is characterised by its rubble walls and prickly pear hedges bordering terraced fields. Nearly a quarter of the population of Gozo inhabit the capital Victoria, more commonly known as Rabat by the local inhabitants is the main commercial centre of the island. The rest live in the other villages that surround Victoria. Although small, Gozo can offer the tourist an exciting experience. The island boasts a rich history with its medieval architecture, forts and prehistoric temples. Its rural environment provides an ideal backdrop for the majestic Baroque churches and farmhouses that dot the countryside. Gozo also comes complete with a spectacular landscape where one can enjoy magnificent country walks and appreciate the serenity that the island has to offer. Last, but not least is a coastline that possesses lovely sandy beaches and some of the best dive sites in the Mediterranean.
