Though separated from Malta, the main island, one must travel to Gozo. Gozo (natively known as Ghawdex) is a 45-minute ferry journey from Malta’s capital city, Valletta, and provides a tranquil haven. Unlike Malta, Gozo is more rural and is dotted with tiny villages, making it a quite location for people searching to invest in or buy Gozo property to retire.
Roam around Rabat
When travelling to Gozo, one must start their trip by visiting Gozo’s capital city, Rabat. Rabat is Gozo’s largest city and is located in the middle of the island. Thanks to its strategical position, the Phoenicians and the Romans built a citadel which today, offers panoramic views of the countryside, villages and of Malta.
Ggantija temples
Just a stone throws away, one then needs to visit the temples of Ggantija in Xghara. The temples of Ggantija consist of two different megalithic temples, one located in the north and the other on the southern part of the town and are both UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Both temples have been identified being older than the pyramids of Egypt, making such historic sites a must visit site when travelling to Gozo.
Visit Marsalforn
Lastly, after a day roaming the old and narrow streets of Rabat and visiting historic sites, one must feast is the bustling fishing village of Marsalforn. Marsalforn is located on the north cost of Gozo and is the most popular tourist resort on Gozo where one can find hotels, restaurants, bars and two different types of beaches to unwind.
Gozo real estate
Gozo has a variety of property for sale ranging from luxurious and modern villas to traditional farmhouses and houses of character, all having breath-taking views and direct access to the beaches. Should you invest and purchase Gozo real estate, one should know that it is significantly cheaper than Malta real estate and the lifestyle on the island, is more traditional and relaxed.
