9Gozo, Malta
While Malta itself is gaining popularity as a travel destination, its smaller sister island, Gozo, remains relatively under the radar for many Americans. Located just a 25-minute ferry ride from Malta’s main island, Gozo is a tranquil oasis characterized by its pristine beaches, charming villages, and rich history.
The island’s azure waters make it a top destination for diving, particularly near the famed Blue Hole. Visitors can also explore the island’s ancient temples, such as Ġgantija, which are older than the pyramids of Egypt. The relaxed pace of life and stunning natural beauty make Gozo the perfect place to unwind.
