Best Time To Go
Spring (March to June): Spring is a fantastic time to visit Malta when the weather is mild and pleasant. The countryside is lush and green, making it perfect for outdoor activities and exploring historical sites without the summer crowds.
Autumn (September to November): Early autumn is another excellent time to visit Malta. The weather is still warm, but the crowds begin to thin out. It’s a good compromise between enjoying the beaches and avoiding the peak season rush.
Winter (December to February): Winters in Malta are mild, and it’s an excellent time to explore historical sites and enjoy a quieter, more local experience. Keep in mind that some beach activities may not be suitable during this season.
Summer (July to August): If you enjoy hot and sunny weather, then summer is the peak tourist season in Malta. The beaches are bustling, and there are various events and festivals happening. However, it can get quite crowded, so be prepared for higher prices and more tourists.

Explore Kantra Valley
Before starting Your hike in the Kantra Valley, start Your journey in Xlendi or eat lunch there after the hike.
Though popular for scuba diving during the summer months, this area is equally enjoyable for hiking and exploring during the rest of the year because of its network of winding trails and landscapes.
In Kantra Valley You’ll find Xlendi Tower and old salt pans. The tower is one of the Lascaris towers and dates to 1650; it is currently undergoing restoration. It is the oldest of the four surviving watchtowers on Gozo. The earlier Garzes and Marsalforn towers were destroyed in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Trails may be a little extreme in some places so it’s recommended to wear proper shoes and clothes.

Victoria and Citadella de Victoria
The Citadel dominates the Island’s skyline, towering dramatically above the surrounding landscape, making it visible from practically anywhere on the island.
4.
Azure Window Complex
Off the coast of Malta is the island of Gozo, which is home to a natural arch known as the Azure Window (or the Dwejra Window). Until its collapse in stormy weather on March 8, 2017, the limestone feature in Dwejra Bay, near the Inland Sea and Fungus Rock, was one of the island’s biggest tourist attractions.
In the complex, You’ll also find the Inland Sea.
Taking a boat tour through the arch into the open sea is a thrilling experience, and though it may seem pricey, it’s worth it because the guides are entertaining and informative. You’ll learn that there’s always something to look at, and they’ll encourage you to use your imagination to really appreciate the experience.
5.
Wied il-Għasri and Its Valley
The Lower Coralline Limestone and the underlying Globerigerina Limestone form the cliffs of the L-Gasri Valley creating a deep gorge-like valley. The Mediterranean Sea is accessible for a refreshing swim at the end of the valley, which features a small, quiet pebbly bay thanks to the valley’s twisting way to the open sea.
Steps have been carved onto the cliffside so that you may reach the tiny pebbly beach below, despite appearances to the contrary.
Keep your camera handy since you’ll want to capture the breathtaking scenery as you make your way down the stairs.
6.
Ramla Beach
Watch the sun go down at Ramla Beach before returning to your place. That’s the nicest beach on Gozo, and maybe even all of Malta. Because of its expansive red sands, the locals have named it “Ramla il-amra,” or “the Red Sandy Beach.” In Ramla, you can go swimming, snorkeling, or just bask in the sun.
