Although a part of Malta, Gozo prides itself on its independence and cultural significance. Though for a brief period following Napoleon's conquest of Malta, Gozo was declared an autonomous region, it has historically, and is today, governed by Malta, albeit with its own local government and ministry.

The differences between Gozo and Malta are also reflected in the geography and atmosphere. Although a large island about the third the size of Malta, the small population of Gozo makes the island less crowded and the landscape more peaceful and open.   

Getting to Gozo

Gozo is easily and affordably reachable from Malta by regular passenger and car ferries between the port of Mġarr on Gozo and Ċirkewwa on Malta. The ferries travel between Gozo and Malta roughly every 45 minutes during the summer season and nearly as frequently during the winter months.
