Updated September 2026
- Ferry
- Ċirkewwa → Mġarr, ~25 min, frequent

- day trip works; 1–2 nights is better

Short on time → a Gozo day trip with transport sorted. More time → 1–2 nights in a farmhouse and the island to yourself after the day-trippers leave. Blue Lagoon → its own half-day, ideally not the same day as Gozo.
