Exploring Gozo’s Rich Heritage: Must-Visit Museums On The Island Of Gozo
Hondoq is a popular spot amongst tourists and locals alike. With its pretty little beach, kiosk and various water sports on offer it makes for a great place to spend the day. If you happen to be on this beach then simply swim around to the right and follow the coastline, eventually, you’ll come to a small bay with a hidden cave that’s perfect for a cool mid-summer swim. You can even walk to this cave by following the coast however, getting down to the bay can be tricky and it’s incredibly steep. It’s a nice sized cave and usually not visited by too many people.
First and foremost, the coastline is home to some of the most breathtaking Hidden Caves In Gozo, shaped over centuries by wind and sea. As time passed, these Hidden Caves In Gozo were carved deep into the limestone cliffs, creating secluded pockets of beauty and mystery.
Moreover, many of the Hidden Caves In Gozo are accessible only by boat or kayak, which adds to their untouched and adventurous appeal. Consequently, visitors are rewarded with shimmering waters, dramatic rock formations, and moments of complete tranquillity. Ultimately, exploring the Hidden Caves In Gozo offers a unique perspective on the island’s raw natural character and enduring connection to the Mediterranean.
Ghar ta santa Katarina looks almost otherworldly
This is my all-time favourite cave in Gozo for many reasons. I found this cave whilst exploring in a Kayak and when I first laid eyes on it, it absolutely took my breath away. It can only be reached by paddleboard, boat or kayak but thankfully these are all available to rent in nearby Xlendi and on a calm day the cave can be reached in around 15 to 20 minutes. If you enter the water in Xlendi, head out to the very end of the bay, turn right and follow the coast. You will pass a smaller cave on your right, which is worth exploring and has a beautiful underwater arch, however, you have to continue following the coast past this cave and eventually, you’ll reach L’Ghar ta Santa Katarina.
As you go around the corner you’ll be met with a gargantuan cave complete with its own large rock beach, make sure you wear sea shoes as these rocks are quite sharp when entering and exiting the water. The best time to visit is after 2:30 pm in summer as the sun hits the white sand at the bottom of the cave and the water glows a stunning blue. Inside the cave, you’ll find graffiti carved into the rock dating back around a century.
Snorkelling is a treat here as there’s a small reef, a small canyon and lots of little fish around. This is the perfect escape if you’re looking to break away from the hustle and bustle of Xlendi and no cave conjures up imaginary pirate scenarios quite like L’Ghar ta Santa Katarina.
