A visit to the three-hilled picturesque island of Gozo is a must!
During this tour we will first visit Ggantija, a Neolithic megalithic temple which is the earliest of a series of megalithic temples in Malta. The Ggantija temples are older than the pyramids of Egypt. Their makers erected the two Ggantija temples during the Neolithic Age, which makes these temples more than 5550 years old and the world's second oldest manmade religious structures, after Gobekli Tepe.
We will then head to Marsalforn where we will board the trackless train. During the 40-minute ride we pass by Marsalforn Bay, Qbajjar Bay, Xwejni Bay, we will also see the Salt Pans, the Salvatur Statue and more. This area is hardly visited by any tourists since no vehicles are allowed apart from the trackless train, so enjoy this unique experience!
We will then visit the Crafts Centre where we will have the chance to taste some traditional Maltese food. Here we will also see stone works, marble, local lace and many other items. This is the perfect place where one can buy a souvenir of Gozo.
The next stops are Dwejra Bay, and Gozo's Capital City Victoria. In the heart of Victoria lies the Cittadella, formerly known as 'Il Castello', which has been the centre of activity of the island since possibly Neolithic times, but is known to be first fortified during the Bronze Age. It was later developed by the Phoenicians and continued into becoming a complex Acropolis by Roman times.
