Gozo

Gozo has no commercial airport, so nearly everyone arrives through Malta International Airport and then crosses to the island by sea.

• From Malta International Airport, allow about 1 hour to reach Cirkewwa by taxi or bus.
• Direct airport buses X1 and TD1 connect the airport with Cirkewwa, though the ride can take 1 to 2 hours depending on traffic and service pattern.
• The classic Gozo Channel ferry crosses from Cirkewwa to Mgarr Harbour in about 25 minutes and runs daily.
• Passenger-only fast ferries also link Valletta's Grand Harbour with Mgarr in under 45 minutes, which is convenient if you want a city stop in Valletta but less useful than the vehicle ferry for bulky dive gear or rental-car plans.

• A rental car is the easiest way to dive and sightsee efficiently, especially if your trip mixes shore diving, villages, and early starts. - Driving is on the left in Malta and Gozo.
