Il-Qala is the easternmost village in Gozo and boasts fabulous views over the sea to Comino and Malta. Il-Qala means port and probably refers to the nearby bay and landing stage of Ħondoq ir-Rummien. The bay offers some great snorkelling or walking opportunities around the rugged rocky coastline.

Comino or Kemmuna (in Maltese), is a very small (and very peaceful) island midway between the islands of Malta and Gozo. You find the Blue Lagoon here.
The island is inhabited by only a handful of people and is mostly visited for a day trip, both by the Maltese themselves as well as tourists.
For the more adventurous Maltese, Comino is also frequented as a place for camping or to spend a day hiking across the island.
Named after the plentiful cumin (flowering plant) that grows on the island, Comino is thick with wild herbs and flowers, with the entire island classified as a wildlife sanctuary nowadays.
Comino is surrounded by natural caves and dramatic, high cliffs which are awesome. There’s a tour by powerboat that takes you around these caves or even rent a self-driving boat. To access the island you have different options from Paddleboarding, Kannowing, jet skis, or just having a boat drive you there. At Hondoq Bay you can have access to all these activities and services.

Ta' Vestru Restaurant
Highly recommended, and only minutes drive from your front door. Mulino is our go-to restaurant and never disappoints. The menu is small and is created seasonally by a highly talented chef, coupled with great wines to pair.
During the summer months, there is seating around a pool with a beautiful view as pictured.
*We recommend that you call prior for a table.

If you are in Victoria and looking for a tasty lunch make sure to visit Mojos. It's known by all Gozitans. The menu offers a nice variety of options. Personal Favorites are the Salads, Burgers, and always as a side sweet chilly cheddar fries!

The freshest seafood in Gozo, and it’s right near the water. Family-owned, so you know you’ll be taken care of. If they have the baby calamari, do yourself a favor and get it because it’s superb. BUT, make reservations early because they fill up very fast at night. Can’t go wrong eating here.
