This is the ferry harbour of Mgarr in the second important of the Maltese islands called Gozo (in Maltese Ghawdex). The most common way to travel between the islands of Malta and Gozo id by ferry, where it arrives and anchors at the harbour of Mgarr. Upon arriving one will surely note the two old yet beautiful churches, up in one of the many hills on Gozo.

This natural rock structure is found at the West coast of Gozo, at a place called Dwejra. This structure is very large and impressive, especially when one thinks how it can be formed naturally.

Without much doubt, this is the most popular church in Gozo, called Madonna ta' Pinu, and in my opinion the most beautiful. I think the most beautiful and unique feature amongst other large churches in Malta and Gozo is the fact that this church is completely surrounded by countryside, with no buildings beside it. The architecture of the church is also beautiful. It is said that many miracles have happened to those people who prayed here. The photo is taken from a hill opposite the church.

This is a typical scene of Gozo from one of its hills, this one situated at ta' Pinu. Gozo differs from Malta in being more green and natural, cities are more or less, isolated and smaller, and the island is not much overpopulated or lots of traffic. It also contains many hills, of which 3 are the most prominent and high.
