Find HotelsIf you wish to extend your stay, consider adding a full day on Gozo to explore the coastal cliffs of Dwejra and the salt pans of Marsalforn. To shorten the trip, you can combine Day 6 and Day 7 by visiting Marsaxlokk in the morning and heading straight to St. Julian’s for the afternoon, omitting the aquarium visit. Public buses are reliable and inexpensive, but hiring a car for a day on Gozo offers greater flexibility.
