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 Catania2 June 20254 June 2025Tickets from 48 Rome7 March 20259 March 2025Tickets from 54 Sofia17 March 202523 March 2025Tickets from 63 Barcelona7 March 20259 March 2025Tickets from 68 Lisbon10 March 202512 March 2025Tickets from 71 Budapest2 April 20258 April 2025Tickets from 79 Madrid5 March 20258 March 2025Tickets from 81 Athens23 March 202529 March 2025Tickets from 89 Bologna19 February 202524 February 2025Tickets from 95 Naples26 May 202529 May 2025Tickets from 107 Milan26 May 20251 June 2025Tickets from 108 London20 April 202525 April 2025Tickets from 118 Vienna15 May 202519 May 2025Tickets from 120 Stockholm11 June 202515 June 2025Tickets from 130 Palermo20 October 202525 October 2025Tickets from 134 Billund14 March 202516 March 2025Tickets from 142 Tenerife8 March 202511 March 2025Tickets from 147 Perugia30 May 20251 June 2025Tickets from 148 Zagreb12 March 202516 March 2025Tickets from 149 Skopje21 March 202524 March 2025Tickets from 155 Belgrade19 March 202521 March 2025Tickets from 156 Riga1 March 20253 March 2025Tickets from 156 Warsaw9 April 202514 April 2025Tickets from 171 Katowice6 March 202510 March 2025Tickets from 174 Memmingen22 February 202524 February 2025Tickets from 179 Larnaca6 May 20259 May 2025Tickets from 179 Gdansk26 March 202530 March 2025Tickets from 184 Dusseldorf18 March 202521 March 2025Tickets from 186 Cologne4 March 20259 March 2025Tickets from 187 Malaga8 May 202511 May 2025Tickets from 191 Istanbul28 May 202529 May 2025Tickets from 198 Krakow21 February 202522 February 2025Tickets from 199 Algiers26 March 202528 March 2025Tickets from 199 Vilnius1 April 20256 April 2025Tickets from 199 Munich17 February 202521 February 2025Tickets from 204 Casablanca6 March 202511 March 2025Tickets from 207 Brussels28 February 20252 March 2025Tickets from 215 Amsterdam27 February 20255 March 2025Tickets from 223 Strasbourg9 April 202512 April 2025Tickets from 224 Frankfurt17 March 202521 March 2025Tickets from 225 Eindhoven11 April 202514 April 2025Tickets from 226 Dortmund14 May 202518 May 2025Tickets from 227 Tirana15 May 202520 May 2025Tickets from 229 Paris2 January 20265 January 2026Tickets from 235 Berlin21 February 202523 February 2025Tickets from 261 Bucharest26 February 202528 February 2025Tickets from 261 Tallinn17 March 202520 March 2025Tickets from 273 Cluj11 April 202514 April 2025Tickets from 281 Valencia20 February 202523 February 2025Tickets from 289 Helsinki22 September 202528 September 2025Tickets from 291 Yerevan19 May 202525 May 2025Tickets from 292 Tbilisi23 February 202527 February 2025Tickets from 311 Thessaloniki22 April 202525 April 2025Tickets from 317 Prague19 February 202523 February 2025Tickets from 320 Antalya28 February 20252 March 2025Tickets from 334 Edinburgh18 February 202521 February 2025Tickets from 337 Zurich16 April 202520 April 2025Tickets from 347 Marseille17 April 202520 April 2025Tickets from 367 Swidnik7 July 202510 July 2025Tickets from 385 Bristol26 August 202530 August 2025Tickets from 424 Reykjavik9 April 202513 April 2025Tickets from 444 Saint Petersburg30 March 20255 April 2025Tickets from 454 Baku17 April 202520 April 2025Tickets from 464 Paphos7 June 202511 June 2025Tickets from 467 Adler/Sochi15 March 202521 March 2025Tickets from 479 Sharjah9 May 202511 May 2025Tickets from 495 Moscow7 March 202513 March 2025Tickets from 503 Almaty2 March 20256 March 2025Tickets from 525 Mineralnye Vody27 March 202531 March 2025Tickets from 559 Kazan27 February 20255 March 2025Tickets from 619 Dubai9 May 202511 May 2025Tickets from 643 Samara15 March 202521 March 2025Tickets from 649 Astana24 March 202530 March 2025Tickets from 679 Ufa12 April 202518 April 2025Tickets from 716 Shymkent17 April 202520 April 2025Tickets from 728 Yekaterinburg16 June 202522 June 2025Tickets from 751 Minsk13 March 202518 March 2025Tickets from 809 Nizhniy Novgorod18 April 202521 April 2025Tickets from 909 Perm3 March 20259 March 2025Tickets from 913 Phuket14 April 202520 April 2025Tickets from 1 007 Volgograd21 April 202525 April 2025Tickets from 1 012 Novosibirsk1 March 20257 March 2025Tickets from 1 083 Wichita1 August 20255 August 2025Tickets from 1 682 Share on Facebook Share Share on TwitterTweet Share on Pinterest Share Share on LinkedIn Share Share on Digg Share
