#Free lounge replacement on Member Day 27th of every month If you come to Malta, (Gozo Island) Gozo Island is definitely an attraction not to be missed! One of the most famous attractions is the Citadel, located at the highest point of Gozo's capital Victoria, a place with a long history that evolved from the Neolithic Age to what it is today, and is the location of many movies such as Games of Thrones. You can come to this Gozo Island by boat from the capital Valletta, which I highly recommend! Next to the castle there is also a church (cathedula of the assumption of the madonna) to visit and the architecture is very unique! This time, we took advantage of the free lounge service of Trip com Diamond Members, waiting comfortably in the airport to board the plane, quickly become a Diamond Member! #trip

Though the journey is short, the wind and sound of waves on the ferry refresh your senses for the trip. Between islands, the Mediterranean Sea remains the same color yet always feels different 🚤🌤️🌊 ⠀ ⸻ ⠀ 🩵 Transparent anchorage at Blue Lagoon Arriving at the Blue Lagoon near Comino Island, the boat stops on the water.

Even a brief stay leaves a lasting impression 🐚🏝️👙 ⠀ ⸻ ⠀ 🚢 Another sea journey to Gozo Island On the ferry heading to Gozo Island, the outline of the island becomes increasingly distinct.

🏛 Light that lingers in the stone walls When walking through the old city of Malta, you come across a cathedral at the end of a small alley. More than the ornate entrance, the silence of the moment you open the door and enter is the first thing that touches your heart. The light seeping through the thick stone walls seems to silently comfort you 🌫️🪨🌿 ⠀ ⸻ ⠀ 🕯️ Peace of a time when there are no people In the early morning or late afternoon when all the tourists have left, the cathedral is filled with silence instead of the prayers of the believers. If you sit quietly on a wooden bench, you will feel your heart lighten just by existing. It is the power of a quiet space that is more powerful than words 📿🪑🌙 ⠀ ⸻ ⠀ 🎨 A wall where art and faith meet Old frescoes and golden decorations remain throughout the cathedral.

The cathedral in Malta was such a place. ⠀ ⸻ ⠀ #Malta #MaltaTravel #EuropeTravel

It's a scenery that makes you forget time 🛥️👣☀️ ⠀ ⸻ ⠀ 🌿 The silence of Gozo Island's alleys Everything is slow in Gozo. In the stone walls and narrow alleys near the Gigantiya ruins, you can hear the sounds of birds and the wind before people. In a neighborhood where it's nice to walk around without saying anything, the time spent alone accumulates deeply 🏺🍃🕊️ ⠀ ⸻ ⠀ 🍷 Sunset near the port and a glass of wine I return to Valletta and sit at a wine bar looking at the red sky. The lights of the port turn on beyond the glass window, and the scenes of today slowly flow in the glass. Malta is quiet and beautiful even at the end 🌇🍷🪑 ⠀ ⸻ ⠀ #MaltaTravel #SummerTravel

Malta is made up of two main islands: the larger island of Malta and smaller Gozo. Each has its own unique charms. The ‘big island’ is more built-up and boasts a greater number of attractions, while Gozo offers a more relaxed, natural feel. Where to go in Malta? Valletta:The capital city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, renowned for its baroque architecture, grand cathedrals, and fortified walls. Mdina: The ancient capital boasts a rich history, with its iconic St. Paul's Cathedral and underground catacombs. Megalithic Temples: These ancient temples, some dating back over 5,000 years, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Fort Saint Elmo: A 16th-century citadel overlooking the Grand Harbour. Malta offers a variety of beaches, including Golden Bay, known for its white sand, crystal-clear waters, and rocky cliffs. Coastline: The islands feature dramatic cliffs, secluded coves, and azure blue waters. For Gozo Diving Gozo has some very impressive dive sites, one of the most popular being the Blue Hole. The Gozitan underwater geography is very interesting, and so is the sea life. Dive centres in Gozo vary from garage operations to fully equipped 5-star IDC centres. Gozo boasts one of the most remarkable churches on the archipelago, situated at Ta'Pinu, which was visited by Pope John Paul II in 1990. A record of his visit is situated at the rear of the church. The beaches are usually quiet and idyllic. One of the most beautiful beaches on Gozo is San Blas Beach and is easily accessible by car or bus.

During my trip to Malta, I decided to take a day trip to Gozo, and it was one of the highlights of my visit! 🚤 Although it’s the smaller of the two main islands, Gozo is full of charm and natural beauty. 🌺 The island is much quieter and less touristy than Malta, with stunning coastal views, ancient temples, and picturesque villages. 🏛️ I explored the rugged coastline and visited the famous Azure Window, a natural rock arch by the sea. Though it collapsed some years ago, the spot is still beautiful and worth visiting for the views. 🌊 Gozo’s charm is also in its peaceful atmosphere. I wandered through narrow streets, stopping by the Citadel in Victoria, which offers sweeping views of the entire island. 🏰 The architecture, combined with the green hills, makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. The island is also known for its delicious local food, including the traditional Gozitan bread, which I highly recommend trying. 🍞 If you're in Malta, don’t miss the chance to hop over to Gozo for a day (or more) — it’s the perfect getaway for those looking for nature, history, and a slower pace of life. 🇲🇹 #celebrateit

my malta experience was very beautiful and recommend other to visit

Gozo is the sister island to Malta and the second largest island in the Maltese archipelago. Gozo is a lot less built-up than Malta Island and still retains a lot of it authentic Gozitan character and beauty. A visiting Malta in 2025 Gozo is well worth a visit. You can do day tips from Malta but to really get the best from Gozo I would recommend staying at least two nights. #getgoing2025 #gozo #malta #mediterranean

On Gozo Island, Victoria Castle is undoubtedly an unparalleled landmark, known as the crown of Gozo Island. As a historical presence, this castle, built on the highest point of Gozo Island, is made entirely of the unique amber-colored stone of the area, which emits a warm and ancient glow in the sunlight. Every year, tourists flock to the castle, and it is not easy to capture a photo without others in it. I was lucky enough to find a secluded corner at lunchtime and found the right angle to take a picture. Victoria Castle is a fortress with a rich history. After hundreds of years of wind and rain, the castle has stood against many invasions and pirate attacks and is the protector of the people of Gozo Island. Standing on a corner of the castle, looking out at the endless ocean and the surrounding rolling greenery, you can almost hear the echoes of history. Although Gozo Island is not large, Victoria Castle is quite large. As the former royal capital, it was the center of power and culture, and therefore has a complex and diverse architectural style and structure. Walking through it, every stone seems to tell a story of the past. Unlike the regularity and coldness of modern architecture, every path and corner here exudes an unadorned natural beauty. I spent three hours touring the castle and still felt like I wanted more. Although it has long passed its heyday, every part of the castle still retains an ancient and solemn atmosphere. Especially the church, standing inside the castle, has stood the test of time and still stands proudly. They are the soul of the castle and a must-see attraction.

Off the West Coast of the small Maltese island of Gozo there has to be one of the most spectacular paddleboarding spots in Europe. The calm waters of the Mediterranean allow even the most new to the sport the opportunity to test themselves at sea. Not only this but the stunning sunsets and geological feature will make a 3 hour long trip along the gorgeous coastline feel like a few minutes. With sunshine all year round and warm, crystal clear waters. This is a must do trip when in either Gozo or taking the short ferry over from Malta #paddleboarding #gozo #sunset
