Experience the warm welcome of Gozo in Ghajnsielem, the charming first village you encounter as ferries glide into Mġarr Harbour, where the striking steeple of Our Lady of Lourdes Chapel rises above the waterfront and the 18th-century Fort Chambray—originally planned as Gozo’s own Valletta—offers panoramic views over the Gozo Channel, Comino, and Malta’s northern cliffs.
Stroll the tranquil promenade lined with cafés and restaurants, admire the old Franciscan convent and Church of St. Anthony of Padua set in peaceful surroundings, or simply relax by the harbor watching boats and soaking in the serene Mediterranean light—perfect as a starting point for exploring Gozo’s temples, beaches, and countryside, yet offering its own quiet beauty away from the crowds.
Savor fresh seafood, hearty Maltese rabbit stew, and local pastizzi amid warm Gozitan hospitality, harbor sunsets, and the gentle rhythm of island life that makes Ghajnsielem feel like the authentic heart of Gozo.
Ghajnsielem isn’t just an arrival point—it’s a peaceful, scenic introduction to Gozo’s timeless magic—plan your Ghajnsielem discovery today!
