Join us on an optional full-day excursion. After breakfast, transfer to the pier for your ferry ride to Gozo, a small fishing and farming island with green, flat-topped cultivated hills, rugged cliffs, and beautiful inlets and beaches. Gozo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is known as “The Isle of Calypso” because of its Calypso Cave, which is supposedly where the legendary Ulysses took refuge during his ten years’ journey home at the end of the Trojan Wars.
Here, you'll tour the Ggantija Neolithic Temples. This group of two very important temples, set side-by-side on the Xaghra Plateau, date to about 4000 B.C., making them older than Egypt’s pyramids. Nearby, you’ll see the 17th-century Xaghra Windmill.
After lunch—included in your optional tour price—enjoy a boat ride in beautiful Dwejra Bay, which boasts some of the most spectacular coastal scenery in Gozo.
Please note: The boat ride is weather-dependent and may be canceled under adverse conditions.
