Jeep

ℹ️ Short answer: The best Gozo day trip from Malta in 2026 is a small-group jeep tour from Mellieħa or Sliema (€75–95), which covers Dwejra, Tal-Mixta Cave, Ramla Bay, the Citadel, and a Gozitan lunch in one tightly-run day. The cheapest is DIY by ferry and bus (~€20 round trip including transport), the most fun in good weather is a quad-bike self-drive (€100/quad), and the laziest is the coach + Citadel + lunch combo (€55–70). The best advice we can give: if you can possibly stretch to two nights on Gozo, do that instead — see our 5-day Malta and Gozo itinerary for why. Gozo is the second-largest of the Maltese islands and, in the opinion of every Gozitan and most second-time visitors, the better one. Half the population per square kilometre, almost no traffic, red-sand beaches, the cliffs at Dwejra, the medieval Citadel of Victoria, dinners that don’t end at 22:00. The catch: Gozo doesn’t fit in a day. The bus-and-ferry chain alone costs you 90 minutes each way, and the headline sights are spread across an island that’s 14 km tip to tip.
