The day begins on the bow of a fast-powerboat leaving St. George’s Bay, spray on your face and Malta’s limestone coast unfurling to the horizon. St. Paul’s Islands slip astern as the boat guts across blue water toward Gozo; the wind pushes you forward and the cliffs of the smaller islands reveal honey-colored rock and hidden coves.

Gozo’s Ggantija Temples are Neolithic megaliths older than Egypt’s pyramids, reflecting early ritual landscapes on globigerina limestone outcrops.
Conservation
Comino and parts of Gozo fall within protected coastal zones—stay on marked paths and avoid leaving litter; boats should respect no-anchoring areas to protect seagrass beds.
