Farniente on the beaches
Steps: Ramla Bay
If you are by car, go to Dwejra point for the sunrise, a magical moment before the arrival of tourist buses. Detour by its little sister, Fungus Rock. Then visit the Ta'Pinu basilica, the Maltese Lourdes. After this pilgrimage, with an empty stomach, head for Marsalforn in the north of Gozo where the restaurants on the seafront will bring you their share of happiness. Once full, a short digestive walk to the Calypso Cave with an unbeatable view of Ramla Bay. But if the warm sand is already invaded by bikinis, take the car and drive to the small and more confidential beach of San Blas. A true haven of peace, it deserves its 400 m of difference in altitude to be done on foot (possibility of paying a cab). Once the dip is over, a romantic dinner is in order, either in Marsalforn or in the superb restaurant Ta'karolina, in Xlendi.
