Miles of coastline, sea cliffs and the world's most ancient buildings all surrounded by a myriad of wild flowers. A week to savour with our specialist flower expert.

A typical week

Arrival day

Leaving Malta airport, we travel to the port, and a short ferry crossing to Gozo. After a brief transfer to the hotel on the seafront, we gather before dinner and perhaps have a dip in the sea.

Xlendi and the Southern cliffs

We climb to the highest cliffs of Gozo following the majestic southern coast – part of the EU's Natura 2000 network of protected areas. We visit the small fjordlike sunken valley of Mġarr ix-Xini before continuing along the coast to Mġarr.

Dwejra and the Wild West

The unique geomorphological wild west coast of Gozo is best seen from the high cliffs of Wardija – a place chosen millenia ago by the Punic people for locating a sanctuary of their own. We continue to the Azure Window and the Inland Sea (with optional beer or boat trip) and then follow an old path, finishing at the solitary legend-rich chapel of San Dimitri.

Zebbug, Marsalforn and the Citadel

Wandering down to the sea through the small hilltop village of Zebbug we arrive at the beautiful mini fjord of Wied l-Ghasri. Later we pass the unusual landscape of salt pans before taking the bus to Victoria with its fortified Citadel.

Eastern Gozo

From Calypso's Cave to Mġarr harbour, we follow rural and coastal paths to the north-east corner of the island. On the way we visit the sandy beach of Ramla l-Hamra and get a glimpse of Comino.

Romantic Comino

A short ferry ride takes us to this romantic island. A bird sanctuary, we'll discover coastal cliffs and caves, a peaceful sandy beach, a medieval chapel and 17th century Knights' fortifications.
