Captivating Gozo! Small and beautiful as it is, Gozo cannot be seen in just one day. As a place to relax, ‘hang out’ and live the good life the island is unsurpassed.

The more you enjoy your visit to Gozo, the more likely you are to return, and to recommend the island to others. If you are intrigued by this beautiful island’s ability to create ‘Gozo fanatics’ like ourselves, then plan a visit. We always stay for more than just a day. It’s the secret hideaway of all Maltese. Which is why we would prefer to leave it undiscovered by you.

    MALTA Gozo · Comino von Elisabeth Petersen und Petra Sparrer Elisabeth Petersen arbeitete im An- schluss an das Studium der Germa- nistik und Geschichte lange Jahre als Lehrerin. Ende der 1980er Jahre entstanden erste schriftstellerische (Jugendbücher) und journalistische Arbeiten. Die Lust am Schreiben zusammen mit der Lust am Reisen brachten sie zum Reisejournalismus. Petra Sparrer ist als freie Journalis- tin, Reisebuchautorin, Lektorin und Projektmanagerin für Verlage sowie als Übersetzerin aus dem Französi- schen und Englischen im eigenen Redaktionsbüro in Köln tätig. Für den VISTA POINT Verlag verfasste sie die Reiseführer London, Brüssel sowie Antwerpen, Brügge und Gent. www.vistapoint.de Willkommen auf dem maltesischen Archipel Die nur 316 Quadratkilometer kleine Inselgruppe scheint wie ein letzter europäischer Brückenkopf zwischen Sizilien und Tu- nesien im Mittelmeer verankert� Gerade diese Lage bestimmte über die Jahrtausende das wechselhafte Schicksal der Inseln Malta, Gozo und Comino und macht auch heute noch ihren besonderen Reiz aus� Wer immer im Verlauf der Geschichte Handel im Mittelmeer trieb oder die Region politisch beherr- schen wollte, strebte nach dem Besitz der Inseln� Und wer immer sie besaß, erfreute sich des Schutzes ihrer zum großen Teil steil aufragenden Küsten� Hinter den Klippen erblühte hier bereits rund 4000 Jahre vor unserer Zeitrechnung eine Kultur, die Megalith-Tempel von einzigartiger Schönheit hinterlassen hat� Auch spätere Erobe- rer und Beherrscher, allen voran der Johanniterorden, präg- ten Maltas

  • Mdina Trägt Dazu Bei
    Marsascala 123 Malta Beeindruckender Steinhaufen: Tempelkomplex von Hagar Qim – Der Südosten Der Südosten Jahrhunderte lang war der Südosten Maltas wegen ständiger Piratenüber- fälle gefürchtet und unterentwickelt. Den alten Gehöften der Region sieht man noch immer ihre Wehrhaftigkeit an. Erst im 19. Jh. entstanden aus klei- nen Dörfern kleine Städte. Heute wird das Terrain Stück für Stück vom gro- ßen Einzugsgebiet Vallettas erobert. Das industrielle und wirtschaftliche Wachstum Maltas fordert zudem seinen Preis. Die Marsaxlokk Bay musste ihn mit ihrer Schönheit bezahlen – ein Kraftwerk, Maltas Freeport und Petrochemieanlagen machten die Idylle zunichte. Das Gebiet rund um Mqabba ist den Globigerinenkalk-Steinbrüchen zum Opfer gefallen. Den- noch hat die Gegend ihren Reiz, dennoch gibt es viel zu entdecken, z. B. traumhafte Felsstrände auf der Delimara-Halbinsel, das glitzernde Wasserfarbenspiel der Blue Grotto, oder die Tempelanlagen von Hagar Qim und Mnajdra. Als einziges touristi- sches Zentrum dieser Region hat sich Marsascala hervorgetan. Zabbar Das knapp 15.000 Einwohner zählende Zabbar ist für die meisten Reisenden ledig- lich Durchgangsstation auf dem Weg von Valletta nach Marsascala. Eine erste Blüte erlebte die Stadt im 18. Jh., als sich der deutsche Großmeister Ferdinand Hompesch ihrer annahm und sie unter seine Schirmherrschaft stellte. Ihr Beiname Città Hom- pesch und der Hompeschbogen am Ortseingang, den man im Kreisverkehr von Val- letta kommend zwangsläufig passiert, erinnern noch daran. Aufgrund ihrer späten Entwicklung ist die Stadt weiträumig angelegt, verwinkelte Gassen wie in mittel- alterlichen Städten fehlen. 124 Insel Malta/Der Südosten Außer der Wallfahrtskirche Ta’ Grazzia, die 1737 ihre heutige Fassade erhielt, und dem angeschlossenen Kirchenmuseum gibt es nicht viel zu besichtigen.
