The peacefulness of the village must not be overlooked and if you are truly looking for the authentic charm of old Mediterranean, you will feel that you have truly arrived on vacation as you enter Għasri and our home away from home.
Il-Ġarra enjoys an abundance of natural light and so it may well be tempting to stay for the duration of your vacation, however the village is dominated by Ta’ Ġurdan (the Gordan) lighthouse which stand at the top of Ġurdan Hill above the village. The famous lighthouse rises 180 meters above sea level and was inaugurated in 1853. Its beam could be seen up to 50 kilometers away. From the hill around the lighthouse there are marvelous 360 degree views of Gozo – well worth the walk up.
From Għasri Village Square, a road leads to the fabulous valley of Wied l-Għasri. The Wied l-Għasri area is marvelous for country walks and cycling, especially in Winter and Spring. The valley opens onto the sea between high cliffs, and the secluded little inlet here is ideal for swimming, snorkeling and diving.
Less than 3km away is the Island’s Capital, Victoria (Rabat) and is home to some impressive architectural heritage, museums, art galleries, shopping, restaurants, a small but first class cinema and two theatres. In every direction from Il-Ġarra, throughout Gozo, you will find an array of beaches and coves and coastal walks close by. Dwerja, the inland Sea, Ramla Bay, Hondoq, San Blas Beach, Xlendi Bay and Marsalforn are some to name but a few.
No matter what your faith is, you will marvel at the wonderful serenity of Ta’ Pinu, Malta’s national shrine which has almost two thousand individually carved unique sculptures, situated only 1KM away. This Basilica attracts pilgrims from all over the world. It has been a center for devotion for some five hundred years.
We look forward to welcoming you to Gozo!
