Can I see Gozo in a day?
While it’s possible to see some of the main attractions in Gozo in a day, it’s important to note that the island has a rich history, diverse landscapes, and numerous points of interest. Spending just a day may mean that you’ll have to prioritize specific sites and won’t be able to explore everything in detail.

– Explore the nearby Ta’ Kola Windmill and the quaint village of Xaghra.
3. **Lunch:**

4. **Afternoon: Head to Marsalforn or Dwejra:**

5. **Late Afternoon: Relax or Explore More:**
– Spend some time relaxing at a beach or exploring additional areas based on your interests, such as Ramla Bay or the village of Gharb.
6. **Evening: Return to Victoria for Sunset:**
