Gozo Day Tour including Lunch

Gozo Day Tour including Lunch

The island of Gozo has long been associated with Ogygia, the island home of the nymph Calypso in Homer's Odyssey. In that story, Calypso, possessed of great supernatural powers, and in love with Odysseus, holds him captive for a number of years, until finally releasing him to continue his journey home.

Upon 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.

This will be followed by visits to the medieval citadel in Victoria, the fjord-like bay at Xlendi and Dwejra. Gozo is well known for its crafts, particularly handmade lace and knitted garments.
