Number One! Condé Nast Celebrates ‘Unspoilt, Untamed’ Gozo As Its Favourite ‘Secret European Island’
Malta’s sister island has received the love and attention it deserves, this time by topping a prestigious insider’s guide list made for it.
In its latest list, Condé Nast Traveller is taking its over two million followers to “secret European islands to put on your radar”… and Gozo is front and centre as the first one on the list!
“Odysseus nearly didn’t make it home to his wife, Penelope. Instead, the sparkling island of Ogygia winked at him and he was lured ashore, spending seven years under the spell of its seductive sea nymph, Calypso,” the beloved travel page wrote. “That Homer’s Ogygia is widely considered to be Gozo should come as no surprise. This rugged island surrounded by cerulean waters forms the perfect backdrop for myths and legends – and for films.”

Mentioning everything from Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to Game of Thrones, the spotlight – which also calls Gozo the “best European island for sparkling coves” – goes on to say that “despite such claims to fame, Malta’s smaller sister island remains unspoilt and untamed”.
“North Africa, Arabia and Sicily meet in this sizzling and spiky stone in the sea,” the description reads. “Spend your days swimming in sparkling coves, sipping a Kinnie – the locals’ favourite orange-flavoured fizzy drink – in the sun and feasting on plates of sea urchin spaghetti. Then join the queue for ftira (Maltese pizza) at the Mekren bakery in Nadur.”
