A recipe to conjure up the taste of your Gozo holiday
Posted on 30 November 2018

Winter means fewer salads and more hearty, warming dishes to sustain us through the chilly weather. Gozitan cuisine is well-known for it’s hearty stews and soups so we asked local chef, food writer and photographer Claire Borg if she would share a warming recipe with us, to help you recreate the authentic taste of Gozo at home.

Our guide to make the most of your day in Gozo’s capital Victoria
Posted on 08 December 2017
Most visitors to Gozo will pass through the island’s capital city at some point, after all, “all roads lead to Victoria” as we like to say on Gozo. You may also hear Gozitans refer to the capital as Rabat – which was the name of the town before it was renamed Victoria and became a city in 1887 to celebrate Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee.
But don’t just pass through – we strongly recommend that if you’re booking a holiday on Gozo and planning your itinerary, then a day in our capital city should be on your list of things to do.
