How do you get from Malta to Gozo?
The traditional Gozo Channel ferry carries passengers and vehicles between Cirkewwa on Malta and Mgarr on Gozo. A separate fast-ferry passenger service links Valletta with Mgarr.
What happened to Gozo's Azure Window?
The limestone sea arch at Dwejra collapsed during a storm in March 2017. Dwejra remains worth visiting for the Inland Sea, Fungus Rock and coastal diving even though the arch is gone.

Yes. Gozo's main town is officially called Victoria, but residents commonly call it Rabat, and its fortified Citadel rises above the town centre.
Which prehistoric temples can you visit on Gozo?
The Ggantija Temples near Xaghra form a UNESCO-listed megalithic complex built long before the Egyptian pyramids. The site consists of two major temple structures enclosed by a shared boundary wall.
