“Although it’s simple to rent a car to get around the islands, I opted for a private guide and would happily recommend the cheerful and extremely knowledgable Clive Cortis of Malta Private Guide. We took a 20-minute ferry trip from the north of the main island and although I didn’t spend the night on Gozo, I’d be tempted to go back if I wanted a really chilled out break. Gozo is greener, more rural and more tranquil than Malta, with far fewer cars and an equally splendid coastline.”
