A paradise with a thousand years of history on the Mediterranean Sea
I got up early and took a ferry from the Cirkewwa port of Malta to the Mgarr port of this paradise-like Gozo Island (Gozo) to start my day trip to Gozo Island.
🟧Gozo Island Introduction
The second largest island in Malta, Gozo, is located to the northwest of the main island, 14 kilometers long and 7 kilometers wide, it is really a small place. But when it comes to its history, it can be traced back to thousands of years ago, there were already traces of human activities here.
The capital Victoria City (Victoria) with its earthy yellow buildings and those crisscrossing alleys that make people lose their way, surprisingly gives people the illusion of being in Fez, Morocco. But the local customs here are much better, the passionate and friendly Maltese give people a full sense of security.
Climbing up the Citadel castle located in the center of Victoria City, you can take in the scenery of the island. You can also take a hop-on hop-off sightseeing bus like me to tour the entire island. Then have a Citywalk in Victoria City.
❤️Recommended attractions on the island:
1️⃣ Citadel Castle
2️⃣Victoria City
3️⃣Blue Window
4️⃣Ancient Salt Field
5️⃣Tal Mixtar Cave
6️⃣Xlendi
⏰Tour time: 1 day
⛴️Ferry ticket: 4.5 euros (round trip)
🚌Sightseeing bus: 20 euros

Malta | Gozo Island Day Tour Guide
When visiting Malta, in addition to touring the main island, be sure to leave a day or two for Gozo Island.
Gozo Island, located to the northwest of Malta Island, covers an area of just 67 square kilometers and is home to over 20,000 residents. In Homer's epic Odyssey, Gozo Island is described as a rugged place. In fact, it is now a peaceful and tranquil place, a popular weekend getaway for many people living on the main island of Malta.
Victoria City is the capital of Gozo Island, renamed Victoria in honor of Queen Victoria's 25th birthday from its original name, Rabat. Most of the local people live here. The Citadel Castle is built at the commanding height in the center of Victoria City.
🌈Recommended route:
The famous Blue Window (Game of Thrones filming location), Victoria City, Salt Pans, etc. are all worth visiting.
The sightseeing bus has a total of 15 stops, starting from Mgarr and finally returning to Mgarr. When buying a ticket, you will receive a map with the departure times of each stop marked. However, the bus is usually not so punctual, and it is common for it to arrive ten or so minutes late. Because many of the stop names are not in English, it is recommended that you get off at the following stops for sightseeing.
1️⃣Fourth or tenth stop: Victoria (Victoria City, Citadel Castle)
2️⃣Sixth stop: Dwejra (Azure Window)
3️⃣Ninth stop: Xlendi (Seaside town)
4️⃣Eleventh stop: Marsalforn (Salt Pans, take a taxi after arrival)
5️⃣Twelfth stop: Ggantija Temples (Historical site)
6️⃣Thirteenth stop: Ramla (Tal Mixtar Cave, take a taxi after arrival)
⏰Timetable
Departure time: 9:45 (first bus)
Arrival time: 17:35 (last bus)
⛴️Transportation:
- The main way to get to Gozo Island from the main island is by ferry, which operates 24 hours a day. If you are staying in Sliema or St. Julian's, you need to take a bus to Cirkewwa Pier first, and then take the ferry.
- The ferry basically runs every half hour, and you only need to buy a ticket once when returning from Gozo Island to the main island. You can also buy a ticket before boarding the ferry on the main island, and swipe your ticket to board the return trip (4.5 euros per person).
- The main transportation on Gozo Island is buses and taxis. There is a type of sightseeing bus on the island that costs 20 euros per person.

On the island of the goddess of Shanghai, the secret of the goddess of victory is hidden here!
is Malta's second largest island, just northwest of Malta. Gozo is also known as Calypso because Calypso is the goddess of the sea in Greek mythology. Legend has it that Calypso fell in love with an ordinary human, Odysseus. But Odysseus rejected her, so she used magic to confuse Odysseus and trapped him on the island of Ogygia for seven years. Therefore, Gozo is also known as the modern Ogiji. Asia Island.
Malta is known as the back garden of the Mediterranean, the country of Europe, and the island of Gozo is the garden of Malta, most!! "The Game of Thrones" is the best place to travel to Malta freely.
Besides the blue window, there is the Victoria Castle. Every time you mention Victoria, you will think of the goddess of victory. Its hard to be curious. What is the goddess of victory on the island of the goddess of the sea? Kind of secrets.
Victoria City When the center of Gozo Island, Victoria Castle is the commanding height of the whole place, so you can climb the castle castle to see the whole scenery.
There are not many Raiders on Gozo on the Internet. There are only a few blue windows. But in fact, Victoria Castle is also very famous. It has a lot of history and culture, you can walk and pat, and nearby It is the Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary, you can go and see together.
Line:
Go to Gozo Island and take a boat. After arriving, you can choose to take the bus or take a taxi to Victoria.
Tour:
The people who go to the castle and the church are really not too small. It is really difficult to take a few photos when there is no one, and finally waited at noon.
If you go to these two places, it takes about 4 and a half hours to take a photo tour. After all, Victoria Castle has spent nearly 3 hours~

Malta Gozo Island
Gozo Island's Victoria main city is also very good to shoot, casually pat is really super nice, just today with a red French dress, sunscreen and mirror, feel I earned it []
This castle was built in the Neolithic Age and walked on the medieval path, as if it had crossed. Going up a flight to the top of the castle, I feel like Im in the sky, and the days in Malta are always blue and pure, beautiful.
There are museums and churches in the castle, with exquisite interiors and religious stories to share.
My sister on the Weibo asked me how to take a good photo. I want to say that I am free to go, circle, run, and so on (feeling not to say) actually have a good photographer. It is also very important, thank you for taking pictures of my friends.
