Saturday
Valletta –
Mdina – Hagar Qim Temple – Marsaxlokk Village
Our first
visit during this tour is Valletta, here we include the Barraka Gardens
which offer stunning views of the Grand Harbour and magnificent
fortifications, a walk down Triq Republikka where you can
admire numerous historical buildings built by the Knights of St. John
including the Aubereges, the Grand Masters Palace and the St. John's Co.
Cathedral, the church of the order and also home to Caravaggio's
masterpiece "Beheading of St. John" amonst other treasures. After our
tour of the capital we will then visit the
south west of the island to a rural area where the ancient Hagar Qim
Temple site stands circa. 3300BC. This temple is particularly
interesting as it has the largest and heaviest megaliths, some weighing
a staggering 20 tons. We then continue to our next stop and an
opportunity to experience a little local culture when we visit the
pretty traditional fishing village of Marsaxlokk. Marsaxlokk fishing
village is characterized by low lying buildings and the colorful
traditional fishing boats known as the 'luzzu'. A small market lines the
seafront and if you would like to sample local fresh fish there are
plenty of good quality restaurants to choose from. Our final stop during
this tour will be to Mdina. Mdina is a unique medieval
city, built in the 9th century, the city was built on a plateau in the
centre of the island and from the high bastion walls you can admire
stunning views of the island.
This medieval city is a
maze of narrow alleys and magnificent architecture, the only way to
appreciate this special city is to walk through it and admire its
living history. Our tour at this point comes to an end and we head back
to the hotel.
Sunday
Seaplane Flight - Gozo by Jeep
Pick-up from your hotel and transfer to the Grand Harbour.
Board the seaplane for your scenic flight to Gozo Island which departs
from the stunning Grand Harbour. The flight takes approximately 10/15
minutes and is a great opportunity to see some of the islands
attractions from the skies. The colour contrast of the deep blue
Mediterranean, honey coloured buildings and the islands rustic country
setting is simply breathtaking. On arrival
at the port of Mgarr in Gozo you will be greeted and shown to your tour
transport for the start of your Jeep tour.
Your
tour will include a combination of scenic spots, historical sites and
local culture. We will pass through quaint sleepy villages that
characterise Gozo's unique charm, visit stunning sites such as Calypso
Cave which offers magnificent views over the red sands of Ramla Bay. We
will also include one of the most photographed sites in Gozo, the Azzur
Window and Inland Sea. Here you can take an optional boat trip
(the boat trip is not included in the overall price as it operates
subject to weather conditions, EUR7.00 paid on the day)
around the sea locked lake. And, after a lunch break we will visit the
main town on Gozo, Victoria and The Citadel. The Citadel is a small
fortified city that dominates the heights above Victoria. The history of
The Citadel dates back to an early period when Gozo was under Roman and
Arab occupation. The views from its fortified walls offer panoramas of
the whole island. Our tour comes to an end and we make our way back to
the ferry terminal for our return to the main island and back to your
ship.
