Spend a day on the daughter island of Gozo, which is actually where I grew up. It’s a more easy-going slow life, with much culture, a lot of green, peace and actual quiet.
Google: Ramla bay, San Blas bay, Ggantija temples, Citadella Victoria, Xlendi, Dwejra, Ta Pinu, Ta Jordan Lighthouse, Ta Cenc cliffs, and so much more to see.
Renting a scooter (Hammerhead Projects Xewkija) or a car is convenient for a day ride around this island!

Catch a ferry to the smaller island of Comino, and swim in the incredible blue waters of the Blue Lagoon. This island is inhabited by only three people, but is a tourist hot-spot in summer! The island includes a family camping zone, a Cavallier tower and the caves where scenes from ‘The Count of Monte Christo’ were shot, as well as a small English fort found after a lovely quiet trek around the island
