Summers in Gozo

Overview

Quote:

If you are planning a trip to Malta, make sure that you spend some time on the smaller island of Gozo. The people of Gozo enjoy life and move at a slower pace, which makes Gozo a great place for relaxation.

Quick Tips:

Most stores are closed from 12 to 4pm and all day Sunday, so make sure you get your shopping done before then.

Best Way To Get Around:

The best way to get around is to rent a car. The bus system is not always reliable, especially if you are staying outside the main city, Victoria.

Ramla Bay

Attraction

Quote:

The red sand and blue waters at Ramla Bay draws large tourist and local crowds during the summer months. Small fast-food places offering pizza, burgers, and fries makes Ramla a great place to spend the day and enjoy lunch.

Hondoq Bay

Attraction

Quote:

Hondoq Bay is a small little-known beach in Gozo. Although it is small, it has one of the cleanest waters I have ever seen. The beach is rocky, but there are great views of its sister island Malta. It is also a great trip for travelers with kids. Hondoq is a natural port, so on windy days, when other beaches such as Ramla are rough and wavy, the waters at Hondoq are always calm.

Grotta

Attraction | "La Grotta"

Quote:

La Grotta is one of the only dance clubs open during the summer. It is an outdoor club that is very beautiful. It is situated above a steep valley in Xlendi and is made to look like the club is built in a cave. Since this is one of the only clubs open during summer, it gets crowded, and parking can be stressful. Just get there a little earlier to avoid the crowds.
