Exciting Mediterranean Sea
The surrounding sea is arguably Gozo’s best asset. If you love the sea as much as I do, you will agree with me that a stroll on the shore can be calming and exhilarating at the same time. Particularly between October and April or May, it can get pretty rough at times, it is almost as though nature does its best to show off her powers! As words can hardly describe it, we decided to let a lot of pictures do the talking today.
Depending on where you are on the island, the churned up sea takes on different appearances. If you stay at the Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz, Dwejra Bay – a few minutes’ drive away – will delight you with dramatic photo opportunities.
By contrast, in the sheltered bay of Xlendi the water seems to be boiling…
…while elsewhere age-old rocks bravely put up resistance, resulting in spectacular displays:
And then there are locations where man built streets and houses close to the shore. Here nature offers equally fascinating vistas. And temptations… After visiting the Ggantija Temples a couple of weeks ago, Tanja and I went to Marsalforn. After a quick rain shower – we used the time to have a coffee – the weather turned out gorgeous, though the sea hadn’t calmed down yet. Our Director of Sales was hell-bent on getting some dramatic photography for our blog; it’s truly delightful to have such a brave model! (Have I ever mentioned how much fun we’re having, working for Kempinski??)
But let me add… no bosses were harmed in the making of this blog post – she walked away whole and dry!
