Xaghra - set inland, this small village is a typical Gozitan village, sprawling across a hilltop above the harbour resort of Marsalforn with lovely views from the top of the hill down to the harbour and the surrounding country side.

It's is a delightful place soak up Gozo's restful atmosphere, with a charming central square, an attractive church as well as a pretty nearby windmill and a toy museum. 

Many of the island's best sights are handily nearby, with Victoria, the capital, just 3km up the road and the soaring prehistoric temples of Ggantija a little way across the farmland. 

Xaghra is also where you'll find Xerri's Grotto, a private house with an amazing set of underground caves located underneath featuring beautiful stalactites, and stalagmites. 

Gozo - a charming tiny island set in the blue Mediterranean, Gozo offers tranquility and a gentle way of life far from the crowds. If you are seeking escape above all else, Gozo is the ideal spot for recharging your batteries away from the outside world. 

Virtually untouched by tourism, this gem of an island north of Malta is only 14km long and 7km wide and is no brash tourist resort - just open country sides and a wonderful calm atmosphere. 

Here you will find plenty of fascinating sights, from the mighty Citadel of Victoria the capital, to the colourful harbour of Mgarr and Megalithic temples of Ggantija, Xaghra.

The Gozitan simple life style centers around farming and fishing, with tourism only beginning to make an impact around the fishing port of Marsalforn. Farmers still use the hoe and scythe to work their terraced hillside and commute home to hill top villages by donkey cart. 

This is wonderful walking country where you can discover pretty villages, megalithic temples and splendid churches. It has natural wonders, such as the inland sea and the Azure Window and there are some lovely sandy beaches and clear waters which are excellent for diving and underwater photography.
