Gozo House is in Victoria and is centrally located on Gozo, close to all beaches and attractions at the heart of the Mediterranean. Victoria is the capital and has two theatres, offering ballet, classical music and drama. A short stroll from the farmhouse along the delightful alleyways is Independence Square which has a daily market and the focus for bars, restaurants & shops. St George's Basillica overlooks another square with 2 lovely bars. The Citadel is 5 minutes walk from the house and harbours Gozo Cathedral and museums. The Neolithic Ggantija temples are in Xaghra and Calypso's cave is nearby as is the Azure Window, Xlendi and the beach resorts Marsalforn and Ramla Bay. Victoria celebrates two main festivals of the Patron Saints, St George & St Mary when effigies parade around the town, horse trials take place and merry making in general. The main dive sites are at Xlendi and Marsalforn, alternatively the cliffs on the northwest coast offer great rock climbing opportunities.
