Euronews recently compiled a worldwide list of top five destinations in which to enjoy a stunning yet sustainable holiday, and Gozo ranked third in the final classification.

The article commends the island for its culture and community, and has nothing but praise for it. “You may not have heard of Gozo, as national guides will usually point towards visiting Valletta, the capital city popular for its architecture and sea views. Gozo is a rare gem, with beautiful beaches beckoning you in for a swim”, it reads.

The article moves on to more serious topics and highlights the island’s efforts towards generating an overall more sustainable lifestyle: “The island promotes eco-education in schools and won the award for showing global leadership in protecting its local culture and traditions, involving the local community in tourism and avoiding human exploitation at every cost.”

Way to go Gozo!
