About Gozo:

The island of Gozo lies in the Mediterranean about 100 km away from the south coast of Sicily. Throughout its ever-changing history, influenced by the most diverse peoples and cultures, the islands of Malta and Gozo have developed their own unmistakeable character.

Gozo has something to offer to every holiday-maker, be it hiking, sight-seeing, swimming, diving, or just dozing and relaxing in the sun. Gozitans are exquisite and friendly people, fluent in English.

Gozo, also popularly called The Island of Calypso, is a nickname originating from the Greek mythological location of Ogygia referred to in Homer's Odyssey. In this epic poem, the fabled island was controlled by the nymph Calypso, who had detained the Greek hero Odysseus for seven long years as prisoner of love. Gozo, which in Maltese is called Għawdex (pronounced: Awdesh), is a derivation of other older names such as Gaulos. It is the second largest Island of the Maltese Archipelago and has an area of about 67.078 square km with 43 km of coast.
