Embark on a full-day exploration of the isle of Gozo, the second largest island of the Maltese archipelago. A short ferry ride takes you to across to Malta’s greener neighbor, home to the Ggantija temple complex (UNESCO), which is older than Stonehenge.

Pause for lunch at a local restaurant before enjoying a panoramic drive highlighting the many captivating legends of Gozo.
