On the north coast of Gozo, just behind Qbajjar Bay, west of Marsalforn, the coast is characterized by a chessboard of salt mines hewn out of the rocks that jut out into the sea. These 350-year-old salt pans, which stretch for about 3 km along the coast, are more than just scenic. They are part of the centuries-old tradition of sea salt production on Gozo, which has been passed down in certain families for many generations. During the summer months you can still watch the locals scrape the salt crystals together. After collecting, the salt is processed and stored in the caves carved into the coastal rocks.

Ta' Pinu Basilica

Highlight • Religious Site

According to the story, in 1883 a young woman from Gharb had a Marian apparition when she passed the chapel that was then in place. From inside, she heard the voice of the Mother of God asking her to pray three Ave Maria. After the woman did so, her seriously ill mother recovered unexpectedly. In 1932 the present church was consecrated and its importance is underlined by the visit of a pope.

Inland Sea (Dwejra)

Highlight • Lake

Together with the Azure Window, which collapsed in 2017, the Dwejra Tower, the Blue Hole and the Fungus Rock, the inland lake is one of the main attractions of Gozo. Day tourists in particular can easily reach this place by bus, all local attractions are within walking distance . Around 750,000 tourists visit this place every year, so it can be very crowded in summer. You can swim, snorkel and dive in the lake and in the tunnel. The local fishermen offer boat trips from the pier on the lake through the Inland Sea Tunnel to Fungus Rock when the weather is calm. The Luzzu boats typical of Malta are used here. These trips represent an important source of income for the fishermen. The lake, the tunnel and the surrounding Mediterranean Sea is one of the most popular diving areas on the island of Gozo.
