Get away from the hustle and bustle of every day life. Come and lap up the fresh air, fresh food and most importantly fresh vibes of island life. Gozo is the smaller, more laid back and better looking neighbour of Malta. It’s what makes it such an instagrammable place, just remember to pack your best #hashtags. Its rural settlements are situated between the scenic hills that appear on the national coat of arms, and with a population of only 31,000 people you will have plenty of space and then some.
