The story

Gozo Alive in Victoria/Rabat

Gozo Alive is a lifestyle and wellness-oriented event held in Victoria (Rabat), Gozo's capital, bringing together local exhibitors, activities and demonstrations aimed at promoting active, healthy living on the island. It reflects Gozo's growing positioning as a wellness and slow-travel destination distinct from Malta's more urban, nightlife-driven image, though specific yearly programme detail could not be independently confirmed.

Victoria's Citadel has watched over Gozo's capital since medieval times, its bastions rebuilt by the Knights of St John after the devastating 1551 Ottoman raid that saw much of the island's population taken into slavery, a history that still shapes local memory.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Gozo markets itself deliberately as calmer and greener than Malta, with cycling routes, walking trails and diving sites forming the backbone of its tourism pitch, and an event centred on active, healthy living fits that identity directly

02

The mystery stays covered

Staging it in Victoria, beneath the Citadel that has overlooked the town for centuries, links a modern wellness-focused event to one of Gozo's most historic settings
