A Family-friendly Holiday in Gozo

There’s no doubt that Gozo is a fantastic holiday destination. However recently it has been frequently mentioned in the context of a family-friendly holiday places, sun-fun and culture or simply top secret hideaways with little ones.  This does not surprise us and here’s why!

1. In Gozo, everything is within a short distance

   This is one of the advantages of holidaying on a small island.   One side to the other end of the island is only 20 minutes away by car so going from one place to another literally takes a few minutes. This means that children do not get bored on long rides and have to be entertained every second of the way!

2. Accommodation that’s specifically aimed at families
   In Gozo, you will find a variety of accommodation that suits different styles and budgets.  If you’re travelling with your kids in tow and need ample space, you should consider renting out a farmhouse or a villa.

   Farmhouses and villas usually include a swimming pool and this means that children can spend time frolicking in the water! On the other hand, if you and your brood are always out and about, renting an apartment will be just fine.   Naturally, you can also opt for a hotel. Most places will be happy to accommodate a request for cots and highchairs.
