Gozo is an astonishingly green and fertile island,and this programme is designed to enable you to discover why!

The spectacular rocky coastline is full of hidden creeks, coves and tiny beaches, used for centuries by pirates as hiding places. You will be astounded by the breathtaking cliff scenery and luscious profusion of wildflowers sprawling along the cliff tops.

 


Inland, you will be guided through tiny terraced, stone-walled fields along narrow gorge-like valleys,through ancient hilltop villages, and over the remote rugged garrigue countryside.

You will be on the inside-track, actively involved with the local farmer, cultivating the land. Our trained guide will help explore and identify all the flora and fauna you will find on display before your very eyes. You will likewise have the opportunity to explore and discover the natural and social history of the venue.




You won't go home hungry either!

You will get to savour the very best of local food and drink on an open air picnic.

All this for Lm8 (EUR 18) per adult and Lm5 (EUR 11) per child under 12 (including taxes)
