Steeped in cultural and natural heritage, the Island of Gozo has a blend of characteristics that have astounded visitors along the years. The island’s dramatic coastline, a habitat to thousands of species, is unique in the Mediterranean.

The Ministry for Gozo has developed a coastal walk as part of the EcoGozo project, which takes the walker around this perimeter of Gozo, describing the sites along the way.

The hot summer days are ideal for a swim in one of the Island’s bays while the perfect warm climate during the winter months makes Gozo an optimal destination for those who would love an adventure along the rugged Gozitan shoreline.

Although the island is primarily renowned for its wonderful summer days, the other nine months of the year offer a mixture of spectacular scenes with an unbelievable variety and contrast of colours each step of the way.

It is said that Edward Lear – a 19th Century artist, illustrator, author and poet – ran out of words to depict Gozo’s beauty and described the island’s coastal scenery as “pomskizillious and gromphibberous.” The Englishman tailored these words specifically for Gozo’s coast.
