Walks, Rambling & Cycling
The best way to explore the island is by walking. Gozo is ideal for walkers, due to its size you can plan 1, 2 or 3 hour walks. Most of these can be circular routes or point to point. Gozo is a hilly island so expect a few uphills and downhills. On the coastline you will find some of the most spectacular walks. Inland some of the most amazing routes are through the valleys especially during the spring or winter months.

The great advantage of walking or cycling in Gozo is the enormous variety of scenery and character in such a small area: wind-swept cliffs, towers which have been guarding the island for more than 300 years, pebble gorges with rushing waves, clover-strewn fields and chapels nestling in lonely valleys with fresh-water springs trickling through them.

Diving
Diving in Gozo can be done during all months of the year since the sea temperature rarely falls below the 16 degrees Celcius. The rocky sea-bed offers many hiding places for sea creatures, from the gaping grouper to the creeping octopus. There are fantastic arches, tunnels, wrecks, caves and lagoons to explore and the underwater landscape is as varied as the topography.

There are several diving centres on the island and the facilities available are excellent both for the experienced divers as well as for beginners.

Rock Climbing & Abseiling
Gozo is the ideal place for a rock climbing holiday. Rock climbing in Gozo is possible the whole year through due to mild winter conditions. There are over 1,300 rock climbing routes in all the three islands of Malta, Gozo and Comino.

Festas, Festivals & Religious Activities
Each of Gozo’s many towns and villages pays homage to its patron saint during an exciting and colourful annual feast, these ‘festi’ take place each weekend between the months of May and September.

As the Maltese Islands are predominantly Catholic, other Christian celebrations take place during the year including at Christmas and Easter time when the islands come alive with pageantry, processions, exhibitions and tradition.

A festa worthy of the name is made up of illuminations, brass bands, fireworks and a procession. The facade of the village church as well as the principal streets are decorated with thousands of twinkling lights. From the Wednesday preceding the festa to its eve, several brass bands march through different streets preceded and followed by the young and not so young who revel in dancing and merrymaking. The beginning and end of these marches are marked by a profusion of multi-coloured ground and aerial fireworks. On Sunday afternoon, in the town and larger villages, there is also a traditional horse and donkey race along the main street. The climax of the festa is reached on Sunday evening when a procession with the statue of the saint carried shoulder-h
