Xlendi Tower is the starting point of one of my favourite walks on Gozo along the cliffs. Super windy, its a great place to explore near Xlendi. A short walk from town including some steep steps gives you uninterrupted views of the cliffs on the other side of the bay. The tower is one of the 9 still standing Lascaris Towers built by The Order of St John, and dates back to 1650. It's currently being restored so you can't go inside FYI.

Love Xlendi - it has lots of seafront restaurants where you can enjoy a drink or some food watching the waves and fish swimming around. In the warmer months, you can go swimming in the sea from one of the various access points around the rocks (the beach is quite small). The walk to Xlendi tower is lovely - and the views of the cliffs and salt pans are impressive.

It is a gorgeous place. Here you can spend a very beautiful time alone or with you want climbing or simply walking along the amazing bay here. You can take fantastic photos, specially at sunset time. Then, you can enjoy a fantastic time in the afternoon, when the wind is blowing on the coast where you can have a very restoring nap laying on the flat rocks!

Great spot to watch the sunset. It took us around 30 mins to walk here from Willows Penthouse following the walking route Google Maps suggested (all down hill with some very picturesque streets!). There were quite a few restaurants near by and there was a bus back up the hill every hour, so it was easy on the legs to get to the apartment again.

Interesting bit of architecture and history out of the way from the town, but not a huge distance. Path is a bit tricky in places but there's also a car park nearby. The old salt pools are an interesting piece of history. Some people seemed to be chilling out in them, looked great!

Great little Landmark for Xlendi, we didn't stay too long as it was 29°c in the middle of the day with absolutely no shade, but really cool nonetheless. It was obviously locked, so you couldn't go inside, but still a nice walk, if not a little steep and a beaten up pathway.
