Here in Gozo we offer a programme of regular activities so that students can be sure that if they choose not to
take a trip one week, they will be able to join it the following week. Aside from these trips and tours there are
always impromptu dinners, celebrations and special events which come up at different times during the season.
Guided Walks
Go on a journey along remote, mystical and ancient paths and learn about the history of this fascinating
little island and the people who have inhabited it throughout the centuries – enjoy superb views while
getting gentle, rewarding exercise! These walks will take you off the beaten track, exploring some of
Gozo’s best hidden secrets – beaches, caves, cliffs and temples and shrines full of relaxing and sometimes
healing energies. Walks last approximately 4 hours and can be magical sunrise or mystical sunset – stops
for swimming are often included.
Host Families

that we Maltese have now also come to envy – choose
HOME STAY. Gozo and its residents have kept the old,
