Last March, Italian website iodonna.it released a fine description of some of Gozo’s charming characteristics. This island, found 4kms away from Malta was given a glamorous description from star actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. After their marriage, the star couple spent their honeymoon in this fascinating island. Angelina Jolie insists that the beauty of it’s sea and beaches were so tempting that she eventually chose to produce her second film ‘By the Sea’ on this island. Choosing Mgarr ix-Xini as the main venue for her film, she describes this beach as a ‘hidden gem’. Its clear blue sea reminded her of her previous holiday in the Maldives.
This italian article extends by saying that the red sand beach of Ramla l-Hamra and the saltpans in Marsalforn, are two other attractions which makes this island a special place to be. Adding that such places are perfect to practice sport activities such as jogging and yoga. One notes, that Gozo’s attractive beaches won Quality Coast Gold Award chosen as the best sustainable tourism destinations. Iodonna.it adds that here one can also find some of the oldest religious buildings and structures starting from one of Europe’s oldest temples, the Ggantija Temples.
