Tuesday flights to Malta Explore...
Ggantija, the oldest freestanding temples in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Dating back to 3600 BC, they're over 5500 years old and were possibly the site of an Earth Mother Goddess Fertility Cult.
Gozo
If doing nothing is your holiday mantra, come and getaway in the slow lane in gorgeous Gozo.
arooned between Tunisia and Sicily, Gozo sits serenely and modestly - trying to shirk the limelight. And it has for a long time, being one of those places most people have vaguely heard of, but don't know much about. This island has a remoteness that's liberating. The golden silence here is a truly tranquil antidote to everyday life. Despite its tortoise-like pace, you'll find plenty to keep you on your toes here. There are the historic treasures for a start. Often called an open-air museum, you'll find oodles of ancient sights. Then there's the can't-believe-your-eyes pretty scenery. Writer Edward Lear was so impressed with it he had to make up words like `pomskizillious' to describe it. We're talking cushiony-green hills. Colourful flowers.
Discover...
Gozo's jaw-dropping beaches such as Dahlet Qorrot's angel white shores, glittering pebble coves like Hondoq ir-Rummien and terracotta-red sands like Ramla il-Hamra. It's here in this last one you'll find the cave where the nymph Calypso is said to have entertained Ulysses for seven years before he resumed his journey.
Shop...
for Gozo's famous handicrafts such as handmade lace, blown glass and silver filigree jewellery.
Taste...
the culinary delights of Gozo at an al fresco restaurant where you can taste island specialities like `pastizzi', cheese pastries, and `fenek', rabbit stewed in wine.

And glowing orange groves. You'll find it hard to suppress your `oohs' and `ahhs' when walking through this lot. And last but by no means least, there's the jaw-dropping coast. Wherever you look here, you can always see the inky-blue seas, smudged with brightturquoise swirls. And these waters are renowned for their diving with underwater caves and lagoons to explore. However you spend your time here, make sure you indulge in a spot of shopping - Gozo is famous for its crafts. And wherever you are, make a beeline for the enticing eateries where you can feast on delicious island specialities. You think you'd be hard stretched to find a truly unspoilt destination these days. But one thing's for sure - Gozo's set to become the small island with the big fan base.
