Where is Gozo ?    The Republic of Malta is an archipelago - i.e. a group of islands - situated in the very centre of the Mediterranean Sea, and lies about 100km due south of Sicily island in Italy. This archipelago, which is oriented North-West to the South-East consists of three inhabited islands - called Malta (the largest island, with an area of 243 km² and after which the whole archipelago is named), Gozo, the second largest island with an area of just 69 km² and also the northern most island, and Comino, the smallest island with an area of just 2  km², lying between the two largest islands. Besides these inhabited islands, one also finds another three small uninhabited islands and a large amount of large rocks which themselves form micro-islands.  Gozo has roughly one-third the area of the largest island. It measures approximately 14 km at its widest length and only 6 km from North to South. Only 30,000 out of the 360,000 people who reside in the Maltese Republic live in Gozo. Crossing over to Gozo can be done either by the frequent ferry-link that plies the six kilokilometer channel between the islands roughly every 45 minutes. The ferry ticket price is very cheap and can be bought from the ticket kiosk at Cirkewwa. The ferry leaves Cirkewwa - on the Northernmost coast of Malta - for Mgarr on the south coast of Gozo. The crossing only lasts 25 minutes. The ferries themselves are locally built, are very large and very modern. During the crossing the ferry passes very close to the island of Comino which lies in the middle of the channel. Cirkewwa can be accessed either by the Airport - Cirkewwa shuttle bus - the tickets for which can be bought on the bus itself. The bus will be just outside the Arrivals lounge, or by taxi from the airport - this can be quite expensive! For those who prefer it we can also arrange a direct transfer from the airport to Cirkewwa (and vice versa) for our clients. The cost for this return service will be much cheaper than taking a taxi both ways! For those who do not fancy the ferry, then there is a faster way of crossing to Gozo! Just get to the Valletta waterfront and take a Harbour Air Malta sea-plane (an Otter) trip costing just 70 Euros (roughly £56) and which will land you in Mgarr Harbour just 9 minutes later! If you would like to come this way, then we can book you seats with no charge on the service!
