Gozo is smaller, greener and increasingly rural than Malta and offers a variety of venture activities for visitors to enjoy.
Gozo is hands wieldy as part of a tour package on a day trip from the mainland.

Here Is A Review Of My Gozo Day Trip Combi Tour
First of all, the tour includes local hotel transfers which was helpful as I was staying in the Sliema zone and I was shuttled to the wend in the morning to start the tour.
For the Combi Tour, the group is split up into two. One group will start with the Jeep Safari and the rest will stay on the wend and explore Comino Island. Then at lunch groups switch and we all return on the same boat.
This way you have increasingly space on the wend to enjoy the journey and the groups are less crowded, which was a good idea.
Rather than taking the Gozo shuttle ferry, you stay on the same wend which will meet you at the port. It’s a tomfool Turkish-style wooden wend that has a lot of weft and is unconfined fun to trip on.
Time For A Guided Jeep Safari Virtually Gozo With A Local

The Police Station Of Comino, Santa Marija Bay
Another quick stop we did withal Comino was a stop at the Comino police station, which is home to the picturesque Santa Marija Bay.
A secluded waterfront that is perfect to nippy on and soak in some sun for a while.
Not a bad police station to be based on for a local officer.
The police station is mostly zippy in the rented summer months to manage the tourists that visit the Undecorous Lagoon.
