Pass by the Qala Parish Church, a beautiful Baroque-style church dedicated to St. Joseph, showcasing the local religious architecture. Drive through the lush and serene Simar Valley, providing picturesque views of Gozo’s countryside, characterized by terraced fields and quaint farmhouses.
Stop at the legendary Calypso Cave, believed to be the cave referred to in Homer’s Odyssey, where the nymph Calypso kept Odysseus captive. Explore the Ggantija Temples, a UNESCO World Heritage site. These ancient megalithic structures are among the oldest free-standing monuments in the world, dating back to around 3600-3200 BC.

Drive past the Ta Pinu Sanctuary, an important pilgrimage site famous for its miraculous healing powers and stunning architecture. Stop at the Wied il-Mielah Window, a lesser-known but equally impressive natural limestone arch similar to the Azure Window, providing excellent photo opportunities.
Stop at the traditional salt pans, where sea salt has been harvested for centuries. See the salt pans and learn about the salt-making process. Enjoy a refreshing swim stop at Xwejni Bay, where you can take a dip in the clear Mediterranean waters and enjoy the surrounding natural beauty.
