Day
5 Thursday - After breakfast
full day tour to the Island
of Gozo. After a twenty-minute crossing, on setting foot in Gozo you
will notice that although both islands are similar in history and
development, Gozo has a character entirely of its own. Gozo, which is a
three-hilled island, is greener and more picturesque than Malta.
Visit the Azure Window, the Citadel in Victoria, the Bay of Xlendi and
the Gozo Heritage with its fascinating stories of the Goddess Calypso.
Free time for shopping. Gozo is renowned for its woolen goods and
handmade lace.
Day 6. Friday - Breakfast at your
hotel. Free day to relax or optional full day tour to the Blue
Grotto & Limestone Heritage -Euro

and Birzebuggia we proceed to the fabled Blue Grotto where there will be
the possibility of admiring the grottoes closely. (Boat price not
included – weather permitting). Lunch is served in one of the
picturesque villages. Continue on to the Tarxien Temples, a group
of three Neolithic temples that due to their very good state of
