Getting around

Gozo has a very efficient (and cheap) bus service run by a private company called Malta Public Transport. Our property is conveniently located two minutes walk from a bus stop. Regular bus services to Victoria and/or Mgarr Harbour are available from this stop. In Victoria you can find the island's main bus station from where it is possible to take a bus to most places around the island. There are places in Gozo which are not accessible with a bus so we feel that in order for holidaymakers to make the best of their stay here, car hire is recommended. Driving in Gozo is very easy, we have no complicated highways. Having your own car means you will utilise every minute of your holiday without being limited to the bus schedules.
