A trip to Gozo

Having a full day to myself I decided to spend it in Gozo.

Gozo is Malta's sister known and provides a tranquil haven for tourists tired of the main island's hustle and bustle. It is greener, more rural and smaller, with life's rhythms dictated by the seasons, fishing and agriculture.

According to the myth, Gozo is the legendary Calypso's isle of Homer's Odyssey - a peaceful, mystical backwater. Baroque churches and old stone farmhouses dot the countryside.

What I wanted to explore, though, was Gozo's rugged landscape and spectacular coastline I also planned to take a dip in the warm Mediterranean.
