The morning air on Gozo tastes of salt and limestone. You step off the minivan at a scrub-fringed ridge and the island opens: a sweep of low cliffs falling into the Mediterranean, scattered watchtowers, and a patchwork of terraced fields. Guides check boots, hand out bottles of water, and set a steady pace that lets the coast pull you forward—sometimes along cliff edges with wind pushing you inland, sometimes down a narrow path that ends at a secret pebble bay.
