Cheap hotels in Gozo from Hotels4u! Gozo forms part of the Maltese archipelago and lies at the centre of the Mediterranean Sea. This group of islands consists of Malta, Gozo & Comino. Gozo, or Ghawdex (Awdesch) as it is known locally, is situated 20 minutes by ferry from Malta. Quieter than Malta, it is more of a fishing and farming community and is rather quaint with its green countryside, rugged cliffs, steep valleys and beautiful inlets. The weather is mostly sunny and the extensive beaches, thriving nightlife and 7,000 years of history make it a diverse destination with plenty to see and do. The Island has many historical sites, forts, prehistoric temples and some of the Mediterranean’s best dive sites.
