Begin by following the road north from the bus stop and then branch off it onto a jeep track which quickly becomes a rocky path. The path leads you past some impressive rock formations and feels wonderfully peaceful.

Eventually path gives way to road again briefly and you'll soon find yourself at Dahlet Qorrot - a beautiful little bay and a great spot for a swim and a snorkel. Unless you're really pushed for time you're unlikely to be able to resist a dip in the water, and nor should you!

You'll be glad of having lowered your body temperature before commencing the tough climb up a steep track from Dahlet Qorrot which turns into a road and leads to the interior of the island. Follow the road past farms and terraced fields to the edge of Qala village and the Immaculate Conception of Our Lady (Tal-Hondoq) church. Turn left and stroll down to Hondoq Bay - home to some amazing swim spots and (you'll be glad to hear this after a hot walk across Gozo's interior) a kiosk serving food and drinks.

Having had a swim and downed a cold drink, follow an utterly beautiful path which winds (via a few exposed spots - pay attention) back to Mgarr harbour. The path takes you past some amazing little bays, most of which are inaccessible, and provides endless views of Comino and the Gozo straight.

Upon arriving in Mgarr, grab a drink on the deck of the Gleneagles Bar before riding a bus to wherever you're staying on Gozo.
