Gozo

We finally made to the sister island of Malta--Gozo. It is quite an amazing place to visit. The churches and museum are magnificent! We didn't get to the Prehistoric temples of Ggantija which are documented to be the oldest free-standing structure in the world (about 3600 BC). It is older than the Pyramids of Egypt (2500BC), the Acropolis (600BC), and the Hanging gardens of Babylon (605BC). We'll make sure that we get there next time.

Homer alluded to the island of Gozo in his Odyssey as the island of Calypso. Here are some pictures.
