A makwaara Gozo dị ka agwaetiti “Eco”.

Nicknamed “the Eco Island” by many, Gozo is one of the sister islands of the Maltese archipelago in the Mediterranean. Off the beaten path, Gozo has a solid track record of green initiatives which also help retain the island’s authenticity. Gozo was awarded the Quality Coast Gold Award for its sustainable practices by the Coastal Union.

Sustainability has become a way of life on Gozo. Local communities understand that the island is unique and that its culture and environment need to be protected for it to continue to thrive. Several initiatives have already been put in place, including the implementation of solar panel water heating, the use of photovoltaic panels, and the construction of a wastewater treatment plant. Many Gozitan valleys are cleaned on an annual basis in order to improve the catchment areas from flowing straight to the open sea.   A number of villages on the island have been recognized with the European Destinations of Excellence awards and several popular beaches are now also blue flagged beaches.

Visitors have the opportunity to reduce their carbon footprint by using alternative modes of transport, including walking, cycling, Segway tours and kayaking. For more information on how to reduce carbon footprints while in Malta, visit Ebe a.

Gozo farmers use organic methods to grow everything from tomatoes to figs, which is preferred by Gozitan chefs and restaurants. Every nation has its food specialties and Gozo is no exception. Here, recipes have been handed down from generation to generation and favorites have changed through the years. As with everything on Gozo, seasonal fresh produce is at the core of everything made here. Freshly picked vegetables make up the base of the platters diners enjoy with a glass of Maltese wine, while fruit and pure Gozitan honey are the cornerstones of most desserts. Many of the popular products here are still made by hand as they have been for generations.

Take the tasty gbejniet for instance; these little, round cheeselets are made from goat’s milk by the same farmers whose parents and grandparents made them decades before. More importantly, they are delicious, and are served fresh or dried, and flavored with pepper and salt. Pastizzi are another must-try for one’s first time on the island. These delicate filo-pastry parcels are stuffed with either peas or ricotta cheese, served with a cup of traditional, sweet tea. For more information on traditional Maltese cuisine, visit Ebe a.

Eco-Enyi na Enyi ulo

Several accommodation establishments including hotels and farmhouses on Gozo are eco-labeled by the Malta Tourism Authority. The ECO certification is the national plan for ensuring the environmental, socioeconomic, and cultural sustainability of hotels and farmhouses on the Maltese Islands. The new criteria follow a shift from an environmental plan to a sustainable plan covering environmental, social, cultural, economic, quality, and health & safety.

Safety Measures for Tourists

Malta has produced an online brochure, which outlines all the safety measures and procedures that the Maltese government has put into place for all hotels, bars, restaurants, clubs, beaches based on social distancing and testing.
