Gozo and Comino Island

SUNDAY 24 JUNE (Gozo, Comino)

Knowing it was the day of the Islands of Gozo and Comino, but we realized that on the day of San Juan, in Malta are held very typical horse racing trotters and apartment in San Gjwan area we are many.

We had hired the guided tour for 30 euros per person in Luzzu Cruises company working in Sliema Ferries, and is easily visible along the port, there are plenty of companies that will approach you to sell you travel there, Cruises Luzzu page is:


Two other companies that work well for different excursions from Sliema Ferries
Hera Cruises with which we can even go to Sicily for the day trip and
Apitan Morgan.





During the guided tour in Spanish we could see the different watchtowers that surround the island of Malta to defend it from attacks suffered countless malt, we reached the rock where St. Paul was shipwrecked on the island a very symbolic for the Maltese, we also taught and we saw one of the few sandy beaches on the island in the Bay of Gadhira: Melieha bay north of the island after an hour by boat finally arrived south of the island of Gozo the Port where the first we appreciate is the great majestic church that welcomes us, there are other types of fast craft speed boat with that in 25 minutes you get to Gozo and Comino.

In Gozo with this company we expected a micro bus to cross the entire island can see the landscape of total drought, with sweltering heat and typical color of ocher buildings with blocks Maltese themselves made from material taken in the island. We saw all the churches scattered throughout the island and finally the first stop was in the famous blue and mushroom window north of the island, is a spectacular cliff with capricious forms of nature as seen in the images sprinkled with salt on the ground, is a very rugged landscape and appropriate footwear must be worn in order to take the required pictures there you can eat and buy souvenirs.
We resume the minibus and headed to the capital of Gozo, Victoria, the ancient city seems an abandoned village in the desert, and you can visit the citadel, fortified with the cathedral in the beginning, you have to climb many hills and costs a little heat, different museums like war etc ..., the cathedral was under construction and scaffolding but we noticed a peculiarity that I show in the pictures is that most churches and monuments Malta have two watches that give two different times, this is due to the great believers that are there and time is the true and the false and another is to deceive the devil, it is worth noticing that detail. We walked around the walled city, and visited the dungeons, above all there is a viewpoint with spectacular views, after visiting all went down to the people and a Sunday there is a market where you can buy souvenirs, at the appointed time we picked the micro bus and returned to the port, we took the boat and headed to where he came damn one of the most spectacular parts of our trip was the Blue Lagoon in Comino Island, is an island that is considered natural park and is well protected in Malta, not one lives and most famous beach is this gorgeous turquoise water but the problem is that if you go on a weekend is completely full of people, who come with their boats, tourists etc ... and it is impossible to catch a glimpse of sand, the view is worth it but only you can swim or sunbathe, but on weekdays if possible to snorkel, but can pass through the area of ​​peak tourists and reach other beaches less populated but you have to go through the middle of the water, recommended site to see.
When we returned to the boat we saw another place of great beauty of Comino, cumin Grotto, several caves that water makes in the cliffs, turquoise blue waters and transparent and also forms like an elephant left in the rock.

After finishing navigation taken to St George's Bay in Malta which is the area of ​​major hotels in Malta and finally arrived at Sliema Ferries.
