One of the vintners told us: ‘Drink. But drink healthy.’

HerbsOften on vineyards, but on other places too there are growing herbs which are very important spices for Gozitan cooking.

For example thyme, rosemary,mint, curry and many more.

Azure Window is a well known sight on Gozo.

And there are many more bays on Gozo.

Bus TrafficGozo is very small, so there aren‘t any railway trails.That’s why you can go by bus to every place.

In past, Malta was a British colony. You drive on the left side of the road because of that and the steering wheel is right in the car.
