Malta's green sister island: the oldest temples, a citadel on the hill and quiet villages.
4 muséesGozo is smaller, greener and slower than Malta. Its temples, salt pans and village churches feel a world away – yet the ferry takes only 25 minutes.
Start at the Ġgantija temples near Xagħra, built around 3600 BC and among the oldest free-standing buildings on earth; the visitor centre shows the figures and tools found there. In Victoria, which Gozitans still call Rabat, climb into the Citadel: inside the walls are the cathedral, the Gozo Museum of Archaeology and the old prisons, and from the ramparts you see the whole island. Gozo tastes of ġbejniet, the small sheep's cheeses, of ftira baked in wood ovens in Nadur and of honey and capers. On the north coast, people still harvest salt from square pans cut into the rock near Xwejni. Gozo's carnival in Nadur is famous for its wild masks, and at Christmas Għajnsielem builds a whole living Bethlehem.
