The Island of Gozo region

Escape to the peaceful and relaxed island of Gozo where everything operates on a much slower and more relaxed pace than Malta - a perfect place to completely unwind.Greener and less developed than Malta, Gozo offers a range of outdoor activities throughout the year. One normally associates a holiday in the Mediterranean as a beach summer holiday however Gozo is also a wonderful location for other activities in the off peak season when the temperature permits you to be more active and participate in outdoors activities

Gharb area

Activities available in Gozo include:
Country Walks - there are some great routes around the island. Best time in Spring and Autumn when the island is greener and more fragrant. Mountain biking Diving nd some of the best dives in Malta and Gozo. Numerous schools offer PADI courses for both beginners up to advanced divers. Snorkeling, windsurfing, good restaurants and a great nightlife includes a choice of bars and clubs.

Opera in Gozo
Gozo has two main theatres the Astra and the Aurora. Both produce an opera each year and bring over foreign singers to sing with local artists.
Feasts
June and July is the Feast Season when a commemoration to the saint is celebrated every year. The five day festivities include the triduum, the eve of the feast, and the feast day itself. Apart from the church services, the celebrations are highlighted by outdoor activities, mainly in the form of band marches and spectacular firework displays.
History and Myth
There are two prehistoric structures known as Ggantija. They are the most impressive and well preserved of all the temples in the Maltese Islands. They are believed to be the oldest free-standing monuments in the world. There are numerous tales from the legend of Calypso ensnaring Odysseus in her cave above Ramla Bay, to the legend of San Dimitri in Gharb (the farmhouse looks towards the chapel)
Carnival in Gozo
Carnival in Gozo takes place in Nadur in the month of February. It is a great opportunity to let your hair down and step into your carnival costume and join in the revelry.

Another smaller table seating up to 6 people overlooks the pool area which is unusually large for a Gozo farmhouse. The large pool (measuring 28ft x 15ft) and pool area is Thai inspired in design and is a perfectly serene and relaxing space with a pagoda at one end of the pool overlooking the Mediterranean sea. Parents can also relax in garden area while having lunch and generally as the pool area has now a fence running along one side so children can only access the pool area when the gate is opened.
