Gozo is renowned as the mythical island of Calypso, who drew Homer's hero Ulysses to its shores for a seven-year hiatus. Though there are only five kilometres of sea between Malta and Gozo, the islands are distinctly different from each other. Gozo is a third of the size of Malta, more rural and tranquil, greener, less bustling but still full of life. While authentic houses of character have been renovated to suit the most exigent contemporary clients are the speciality of Gozo, the Island also has luxurious hotels. The size and natural setting of the island conspire to make it a prime location for high-powered board meetings, small conferences, workshops and incentives. Gozo is a must-visit location. It is almost always included in leisure-time arrangements. It is particularly renowned for active day tours and outdoor events. Moreover, the Island is a conference and incentive destination in its own right and has the facilities to prove it.

At only 15km long, the island of Gozo is Malta’s smaller neighbour and is only six kilometres away by ferry. Gozo has not been developed for mass tourism and therefore boasts a calmer and more laid back atmosphere. The island is filled with pretty coves, quaint old villages, spectacular coastal formations and historical temples such as ‘Ggantina’, the oldest structures in the world. The attractive and historical capital, Victoria, is built around an imposing citadel.
