About Gozo Malta
Inhabited since approximately 5900 BC, a great number of foreign influences, including the Phoenicians and Carthaginians, Romans, Greeks, Arabs, Normans, Aragonese, Knights of St. John, French, and British, have left some sort of mark on the country’s ancient culture.
Interestingly the islands of the archipelago lie on the Malta plateau, a shallow shelf formed from the land bridge between Sicily and North Africa which became isolated once the sea levels started to rise after the last Ice Age. Malta was considered an island of North Africa for centuries, but technically the archipelago is located on the African tectonic plate.
The island of Gozo is famed for its character and places of interest. Some of these include the Calypso’s Cave and the Ġgantija Neolithic temples which are among the oldest surviving man-made structures. Renowned for its gorgeous natural landscapes and imposing architecture, the Maltese islands but especially Gozo, were broadcasted countless times in movies and TV series, many of which you can visit on your stay. Gozo covers 67 square km (26 sq mi) which is approximately the same area as New York City’s Manhattan island, is 14 km (8.7 mi) long and 7.25 km (4.50 mi) wide.
