Best Għammar holiday apartments

Għammar is situated on the island of Gozo, which is the smaller, more peaceful and rural partner of the more well-known island of Malta. This is a pretty area, a mile or so inland from Gozo’s northern coast, with laid back locals and just the odd visitor. To experience the area at its best, a holiday apartment in Għammar from 9flats places you in the heart of the local community. Your holiday accommodation in Għammar provides you with an authentic local base during your stay where you can mingle with the locals and get to know their culture and the island too. Your holiday apartment in Għammar is rather like couchsurfing in Għammar but with the benefits of the added comfort and privacy of your own room or apartment.

Exploring Gozo from your holiday apartment in Għammar

Għammar is one of the prettiest areas of Gozo. Just inland from Gozo’s clear blue waters, it is a great base from which to enjoy the wonderful island beaches and some of the best sites for diving in Europe. You will also find a medieval citadel and neolithic temples which are more than 5,000 years old. You can take a walk up Għammar Hill to find the main pilgrimage church at the Way of the Cross. Here you will find some great views across to Gordon Hill and the Gordon Lighthouse, which is another great place for a walk. Għammar is also next to perhaps gozo’s prettiest village, Gharb, and is close to the amazing rock formations at Dwejra.

Choosing your holiday accommodation in Għammar area

If you would like a busier base for your holiday on Gozo, a holiday apartment in Victoria is ideal. The island’s capital is set around the ancient citadel, which has been inhabited for thousands of years. The surrounding suburb of Rabat provides many narrow streets to wander and from the top you can see the whole island. Visits to the cathedral, museum and law courts are a must. Once finished, relax with a drink in one of the terrace cafes of the Pjazza Indipendenza. To the east of Għammar, meanwhile, a holiday apartment in Marsalforno will see you enjoying the pristine blue sea and beach of this handsome little town which curls around Marsalforn Bay.

Leaving Għammar

You cannot leave Malta without seeing its stunning capital and a holiday apartment in Valletta will let you do just that. This striking walled city has defended the island for centuries and is surrounded by water on three sides. The city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is the centre for Malta’s political and cultural life. With architecture dating from the 16th century, it is an excellent place to enjoy a walk. Moving on from Malta, a short trip across the Mediterranean to the east will bring you to a holiday apartment in Athens where you can wonder at the ancient sites and enjoy the modern metropolis. Wherever you wander, book with 9flats for authentic local accommodation.
