1. Gozo is great for your health, low pollution, lots of sun, fresh fruit and the freshest fish to be found anywhere in the Mediterranean, I mean, you’re health is very important, isn’t it?

2. Ancient history: Ġgantija temples predate the piramids of Egypt by 1000 years, erected about 3500BC, and so one of the very first in the world.

3. One of the finest diving locations in Europe with caves galore.

4. You’d like to watch the greatest sunrise and sunsets while sitting on top of one of Gozo's dramatic cliffs.
