Xlendi
Xlendi is a lovely little seaside resort on the island Gozo. Whilst still popular with holiday makers, it is smaller than Marsalforn, which is the main resort on the island. Xlendi is a beautiful bay and despite the many day trippers that consistently visit the resort, it still holds on to all of it’s fishing village charm. It is a good base for a trip or holiday in Gozo, with great places to swim and snorkel. There are also plenty of waterfront restaurants and bars to visit.
Things to See and Do in Xlendi
- Climb up the stairs at the head of the bay up the cliff to get great views and take postcard perfect photographs of the bay below. If you are feeling more active then there are some great hikes further in to the countryside and over to Dwerja Bay.
- Sunbathe on the flat rocks along the bay and take a dip in the clear waters that are a spectacular blue/green colour.
- Try out some snorkelling or scuba diving.
- There are a variety of boat trips on offer from Xlendi including fishing trips and cave tours.
- Visit the watchtower that dates back to 1650.
