Go to Gozo
Gozo
The island where Odysseus fell under the spell of sea-nymph Calypso has many attractions for today's visitor, and yet revels in relative anonymity as a tiny satellite island off the north-western corner of Malta.
Comprising just 25 square miles, Gozo at first seems a staunchly traditional island, steeped in religious and clan ties. Every summer weekend sees a village celebrating their patron saint’s festival with street parties and huge clan flags flying, in traditions unchanged since the middle ages.
But there is more to the island than nostalgia. It offers some of the finest snorkelling and diving opportunities in the Mediterranean, and in the Kempinski hotel, the tiny island now has the biggest spa in Western Europe. Alternatively, Original Travel has a selection of beautiful farmhouse-villas with pools to rent in one of the quiet little villages that dot the interior.
Another attraction of Gozo is the surprisingly vibrant nightlife with several lively bars and a couple of fun nightclubs as well. Add to all this a superb summer climate and some excellent restaurants serving delicious fresh seafood, and you have an extremely alluring and good value holiday option.
