Legendary Gozo |

| Gozo, the second largest of Malta's three main islands, is characterized by hilltop villages. Victoria, Gozo's capital, is a bustling town dominated by the 17th-century Gran Castello, or citadel, built by the Knights of Malta. According to mythology and legend, Gozo is the island on which the sea nymph Calypso delayed the Greek hero Odysseus for seven years. Gozo is also the site of the prehistoric Ggantija Temples, older than Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid. | ||||||
