Malta - Gozo

Malta is an island country south of Italy.  Gozo is part of Malta but is another mile off the coast of Malta.  Gozo is approximately 76 Square Km.  Thats approximately 29 square miles.  Or an average diameter of 5 miles.  So small island. We rented bikes and you can bike one side to the other in under a half hour.


This is a group of about 14 Spanish people from Granada on vacation that I introduced myself to in the hostel.

Bus rides on Malta are insane. The buses are from the 1960's. The drivers are from the 1940's.  They collect money while driving. The doors stay open.  They drive like maniacs.  Here's a sample.

Malta is a very cheap place.  Here is the hostel/hotel we stayed in for 9 Euros a night per person.  It was three of us and we had our private room, bathroom, fridge, microwave. It was basically a hotel.

You will see the best of Gozo later, but here are some ruins.
