6Gozo, Malta

Just a short ferry ride from Malta, the island of Gozo offers a slower, warmer version of Mediterranean life. Winters are mild, with highs around 17–19°C, and the sea often remains swimmable well into November.

Historic charm meets sunshine here—think of limestone villages, Baroque churches, and quiet coves like Ramla Bay. Hiking trails along Gozo’s cliffs and valleys stay green even in midwinter. It’s the perfect spot for travelers craving warmth with a dose of authenticity and tranquility.
