2 BEAUTIFUL MALTA! The Maltese Archipelago is formed by the islands of Malta, Gozo and Comino. Strategically located between the island of Sicily and the north coast of Africa, it has been occupied throughout history by several civilizations which have left a mark in the cultural heritage of the islands. With Mediterranean weather, stunning beaches, rocky cliffs, caves, plenty of activities, historical sites and with World Heritage City of Valletta, Malta has it all! THE THREE ISLANDS MALTA: The biggest of the islands is the most cosmopolitan and host of the capital of the country, Valletta. Our resorts are located on the North side of the Island and all offer something special; from beaches to historical sites, culture, nightlife and superb cuisine. Gozo: Smaller than the sister island of Malta, Gozo has a more rural atmosphere and is not so populated. The countryside is greener and more spectacular and its coast has harsh cliffs entered by steep valleys and charming bays. Comino: The uninhabited and smallest of the three islands is situated between Malta and Gozo. It s the ideal spot for water activities and escape from the urban hustle and bustle. (Visit Two Centre Holidays Discover more with one of our two centre holidays! Split your stay combining one of the lively resorts in Malta with the more tranquil Gozo or Comino. The perfect opportunity to experience all that Malta has to offer. 2

25 gozo the unspoilt malta The small island of Gozo is full of myth. In Homer s epic poem, the Odyssey, the hero Ulysses was held in the island of Ogygia by nymph Calypso for seven years. Some interpretations say that Ogygia Island is in fact Gozo! But not everything is myth; Gozo has had settlements since 5,000 B.C. and the ruins and historical sites that can be seen now make this island a paradise for history lovers. One of the colonizers of the island, the Castilians, gave Gozo its current name, which means JOY. Blend the history and the myth with green landscapes, a relaxed rural environment, the beach, the sun and the warm hospitality of the Gozitans and the result is an unforgettable experience and a holiday destination to return to year after year. Approximate transfer time 1hour 30min including ferry crossing. 25
