The rhythm of the sea has long defined life on the gorgeous island of Gozo. As you sail towards Mgarr, you’ll be welcomed by two of the island’s hilltop landmarks – the knights-built Fort Chambray and the 19th century Gothic-style Lourdes Chapel. The capital of Victoria is visible for miles around, and its citadel offers wonderful views over the whole island.
A UNESCO World Heritage site, Valletta is a diminutive city packed with history. Sailing into the harbor is an experience in itself, as the dome and spire of competing churches rise above the cluster of limestone façades and formidable ramparts. Built by the Knights of St. John in the 16th century, Valletta is architecturally Baroque in character, with Mannerist, neoclassical and modern elements as well. It’s easy to navigate the city on foot and take in sights such as the City Gate, National Museum of Archaeology, Grand Master’s Palace and St.
