Gozo is the country cousin to Malta. The island is only 4 by 8 miles and has a more rural feel to it. A 25 minute car ferry is the only way to access the island.

We overheard a tour guide say “If Malta is 98% Catholic, Gozo is 200% Catholic.” It has 46 churches to its population of 31,000. One of the churches can hold 3,000 people, the entire population of its town.

We visited Gozo on two occasions.  One day was partly cloudy and the sea was calm, the other day it was mostly sunny and the seas were alive and flooding the harbour where we had lunch.  Note the difference in the photos below.
