Go-zo to Malta A Glance at the Opportunities by SMedia - March 17, 2018July 9, 20210 Most people will have heard of Malta, but not many will have heard of Gozo, its smaller and much more rural sister island. This lesser known, greener island is perfect for walking and cycling while those who enjoy swimming, diving, yachting, windsurfing and motor sports will find facilities within an arm’s reach. Occupying less than 100 square kilometres of the Med, Gozo is fast becoming a favourite with property buyers looking for an idyllic island retreat. As a result the property rental market on Gozo is strong, as the island is a magnet for both the Maltese and overseas visitors alike. Tourism in both Malta and Gozo has also seen strong growth in the last four to five years from across Europe, Scandinavia, the Middle East and even the US, driven by a new network of low cost air flights. Those looking for a beach front property might be interested to know that off-plan developments exist, such as one at the popular seaside resort of Marshalforn. With most properties enjoying sea views, 107,000 euros for a two bed apartment represents excellent value – although you will have to pay the finishing costs. A number of very select apartment developments are also taking place on Gozo. Stunning views are the major feature of a unique development at the historic Fort Chambray, which overlooks the main harbour that links Gozo with Malta. The Fort provides an amazing backdrop and is over 300 years old. Prices here start from 315,000 euros for a two bed ground floor maisonette with pool. Those looking for greener surroundings might prefer Hal Saghtrija, which is set in more than three acres of land, mostly consisting of landscaped gardens and cultivated fields. Apartment owners can enjoy the fresh produce from the fields which are also part of the property. Prices for these properties start from 276,000 euros for a three bed apartment. For a picturesque sea view, Tal General in San Lawrenz has apartments that all face south and have beautiful views in one of the best shore locations on Gozo. Prices start from 220,000 euros for a three bedroom apartment, but again finishing touches will not be included For those looking for something out of the ordinary, there are currently a number of converted farmhouses and houses of character with pools for around 350 – 400,000 Euros. These represent excellent value for those looking for traditional character in a modern setting. Ray Woods from www.maltabuyproperty.co.uk says that Gozo remains an undiscovered haven for many potential investors and those looking for a retirement or holiday home. “The proximity of Malta and Gozo to Italy and the North African Coast and mainland Europe makes them an ideal base. Sicily and Mount Etna are only 90 minutes away by high speed ferry. Cruise liners are a familiar sight in Valetta, Malta’s capital – as are the super yachts of the rich and famous. The exponential growth in flights has helped to increase demand for good quality property for rental purposes and those looking for a top drawer flop pad with marina access.” VISIT MALTA Cheap Flights to Malta OriginDeparture atReturn atFind tickets Milan12 June 202414 June 2024Tickets from 57 Rome8 May 202412 May 2024Tickets from 63 Catania26 May 202429 May 2024Tickets from 70 Athens17 June 202419 June 2024Tickets from 73 London27 April 20242 May 2024Tickets from 85 Naples10 July 202411 July 2024Tickets from 96 Zagreb20 May 202421 May 2024Tickets from 100 Bari26 June 202428 June 2024Tickets from 108 Barcelona25 April 202427 April 2024Tickets from 129 Budapest27 April 202429 April 2024Tickets from 143 Belgrade18 June 202422 June 2024Tickets from 144 Vilnius5 May 202410 May 2024Tickets from 149 Stockholm28 April 20241 May 2024Tickets from 154 Paris13 June 202416 June 2024Tickets from 156 Berlin16 June 202419 June 2024Tickets from 157 Warsaw24 May 202429 May 2024Tickets from 157 Palermo12 June 202414 June 2024Tickets from 178 Prague25 May 202429 May 2024Tickets from 203 Vienna7 May 202411 May 2024Tickets from 203 Bucharest27 May 202429 May 2024Tickets from 212 Venice17 May 202420 May 2024Tickets from 212 Munich19 October 202423 October 2024Tickets from 212 Eindhoven6 November 202412 November 2024Tickets from 216 Amsterdam1 November 20246 November 2024Tickets from 217 Riga6 November 202410 November 2024Tickets from 222 Tallinn19 August 202425 August 2024Tickets from 226 Istanbul17 May 202421 May 2024Tickets from 231 Copenhagen24 October 202427 October 2024Tickets from 232 Larnaca29 May 20242 June 2024Tickets from 237 Tunis22 July 202424 July 2024Tickets from 241 Brussels17 June 202423 June 2024Tickets from 260 Hamburg25 May 202429 May 2024Tickets from 261 Bratislava5 May 20249 May 2024Tickets from 262 Chania25 May 202427 May 2024Tickets from 263 Madrid4 July 202410 July 2024Tickets from 273 Sofia14 May 202420 May 2024Tickets from 274 Oslo14 August 202417 August 2024Tickets from 280 Frankfurt13 June 202416 June 2024Tickets from 285 Nuremberg13 June 202416 June 2024Tickets from 289 Valencia21 June 202423 June 2024Tickets from 290 Lisbon25 June 202428 June 2024Tickets from 296 Cologne19 October 202423 October 2024Tickets from 297 Porto25 June 202429 June 2024Tickets from 319 Basel, Switzerland/Mulhouse9 May 202413 May 2024Tickets from 325 Yerevan28 May 20241 June 2024Tickets from 327 Dortmund19 October 202423 October 2024Tickets from 331 Dusseldorf22 July 202428 July 2024Tickets from 340 Marseille9 May 202412 May 2024Tickets from 342 Tel Aviv-Yafo23 September 202429 September 2024Tickets from 358 Gdansk28 April 20241 May 2024Tickets from 360 Thessaloniki12 May 202415 May 2024Tickets from 361 Kutaisi19 May 202425 May 2024Tickets from 381 Varna3 May 20246 May 2024Tickets from 388 Funchal29 April 20243 May 2024Tickets from 401 Helsinki1 July 20244 July 2024Tickets from 403 Paphos7 May 202410 May 2024Tickets from 406 Baku12 June 202417 June 2024Tickets from 423 Adana16 June 202419 June 2024Tickets from 430 Abu Dhabi19 June 202423 June 2024Tickets from 474 Batumi25 August 202429 August 2024Tickets from 479 Tbilisi5 August 20249 August 2024Tickets from 487 Moscow11 June 202416 June 2024Tickets from 534 Dubai22 May 202425 May 2024Tickets from 557 Bourgas3 May 20246 May 2024Tickets from 591 Kirkenes20 August 202421 August 2024Tickets from 604 Mineralnye Vody25 April 202428 April 2024Tickets from 673 Kazan12 September 202418 September 2024Tickets from 692 Saint Petersburg11 September 202417 September 2024Tickets from 724 Adler/Sochi2 June 20248 June 2024Tickets from 779 Doha22 May 202424 May 2024Tickets from 785 Almaty28 April 20242 May 2024Tickets from 856 Minsk30 May 20244 June 2024Tickets from 1 006 Volgograd22 July 202428 July 2024Tickets from 1 017 Ufa28 April 202430 April 2024Tickets from 1 065 Nizhniy Novgorod28 April 20242 May 2024Tickets from 1 067 Sharjah12 June 202417 June 2024Tickets from 1 109 Samara18 June 202422 June 2024Tickets from 1 155 Nairobi5 August 202411 August 2024Tickets from 1 156 Kaliningrad11 May 202413 May 2024Tickets from 1 168 Novosibirsk26 June 202428 June 2024Tickets from 1 190 Naberezhnye Chelny17 August 202423 August 2024Tickets from 1 194 Vladivostok1 September 20247 September 2024Tickets from 1 217 Chelyabinsk7 May 202411 May 2024Tickets from 1 277 Denpasar (Bali)3 May 20245 May 2024Tickets from 1 337 Share on Facebook Share Share on TwitterTweet Share on Pinterest Share Share on LinkedIn Share Share on Digg Share
