Gozo is the second-largest island in the collection which makes up the nation of Malta, after Malta itself. With most of the country's development focused on the main island, others have remained more traditional in their landscapes - this is most evident in Gozo's rolling rural scenery which is a pleasure to drive through. Hire a car in Gozo and experience it for yourself!
If you're arriving at Malta International Airport before taking the ferry across to Gozo, you'll immediately notice the striking contrast between the islands; Gozo's more natural look and feel suits anyone who's looking for a quieter side of Malta.
Drive out to Gozo's Inland Sea to see some stunning natural rock formations of the Azure Window; this arch was most recently seen as a filming location in TV's hit series Game of Thrones, while the surrounding waters are in great condition for use by water sports enthusiasts, who can be found sailing, scuba diving or simply enjoying a lazy day's fishing.
The island's capital Victoria is further inland; it operates many sightseeing tours where riders can get a glimpse of its many churches as well as the Citadel - a striking building in the centre which houses remarkable artwork on its ceiling. If you want to get a taste of inland culture and have a splash on the coast within the same day, car hire in Gozo is very much recommended.
