Gozo Guide: Ferry, Localities and Trip Planning
Gozo planning is easiest when you separate the crossing, the on-island journey and the activity. Check the ferry service and weather on the day, use the bus operator for public transport, and use official tourism and locality resources to plan places rather than treating a generic itinerary as current.
