CULTURE
SHARING a rich history and cul-
ture, both Malta and Gozo boast
glorious oceans with traditional
foods and historic monuments.
However, Gozo is known to be
the "greener and laid back" is-
land of the two which is perfect
if you're after a more relaxing and
naturistic getaway.
If you're planning on visiting
Malta's sister island during the
warmer months (or even now),
keep reading as we discuss some
of the best outdoor activities you
can enjoy whilst in Gozo.
Swimming
Of course, why wouldn't you
want to swim in the crystal blue
waters of the Mediterranean Sea
that surround Gozo?
Being an even smaller island
than Malta, beaches are just a
simple and quick drive away from
wherever you are. Xlendi for ex-

Wherever you live, you see the same
things and go to the same places over
and over again, which often makes
you crave a different scenery – even
a different country. An easy solution
would be to hop on a plane and
jet to anywhere your heart desires.
Malta, however, not only offers that
experience but also allows locals and
tourists to simply get on a ferry and
travel 25 – 40 minutes (depending
on sea conditions and the weather) to
another island. That island: Gozo.
