What ancient sites can Peruvian travelers visit in Malta?
Malta's Megalithic Temples date back to 3600 to 2500 BC, predating Stonehenge and the Egyptian Pyramids. The Ggantija Temples on Gozo (UNESCO listed) and the Hagar Qim and Mnajdra temples on the main island are the most significant. The Hypogeum of Hal Saflieni, a subterranean Neolithic burial site, requires advance booking as visitor numbers are strictly limited.
How do I get from Malta to the island of Gozo?
A regular car and passenger ferry connects Cirkewwa (northern Malta) to Mgarr on Gozo. The crossing takes approximately 25 minutes. Ferries run frequently throughout the day and are affordable. Gozo is known for the Azure Window rock formation site (collapsed in 2017), the Ggantija Temples, and a quieter pace of life than the main island.
