"Calm and peace of Gozo" Gozo by edinka

Gozo is the second biggest island of the Maltese Archipelago and has an area of about 67.078 square km with 43 km of coast.. If we can say so, it is even more calmer than to stay in Malta island.
The population of Gozo stands at about 28,000.

landscape of Gozo from the Citadella in Victoria

Reached by car ferry from Valletta or Cirkewwa on Malta, Gozo has rugged sandy beaches and rolling hills. The largest city is Victoria (locally called Rabat). The citadel, worth a visit primarily for its unparalleled views, consists of a restored Norman house, a cathedral and bastions. Other island attractions include the pretty Xlendi Bay(on the western coast); and the Inland Sea, reached by a tunnel, is wonderful for swimming - it's warmer than the open sea. Near Xaghra are the so called Ggantija Temples (1,000 years older than the Pyramids of Egypt). On the eastern coast, see the Azure Window (a rock arch, set over the sea); the simple Ta'Pinu Church/Basilica (near Gharb); and Fungus Rock (site of a rare lichen, prized for its medicinal value in medieval days).
