Tal-Mixta Cave — Attraction in Nadur

This is definitely worth a visit while you're in Gozo. The cave is quite a hike uphill. We decided to walk it but a few taxis drove past us while we were walking to drop people off at the top. If you do decide to walk make sure you are well prepared for a steep cliff and wear some shoes with decent soles as some of the path is quite rocky. The road up to the cave takes you through some farmland and it is lovely and peaceful. During our walk up we only saw one tractor, a farmer and two taxis! Even though this place is known of, it doesn't seem to be a popular tourist attraction. It is well off the beaten track and there are no facilities on the way to it or when you get there. It's lovely that such a beautiful spot is so unspoiled. When get near to the cave you will come to a couple of signs that say Do not enter/Private. Walk past these and you will come to an old house. It looked derelict as if no one is living there now (could be wrong!). Walk a little past the house and look for a set of white rock steps that will take you down to the cave.

December 2024 - We read the many posts here on how to reach the Mixta Cave and were considering taking the public bus. But when we realised that Uber taxi was rather affordable, we decided to use Uber to save time. Cost us 11€ from our guesthouse in Xlendi to get to Xwejni Salt pan. And 10€ to get from Salt pan to Mixta Cave. We checked both Uber and Bolt, and the former was always a little cheaper (You may get a Bolt driver who works for Uber too). Driver dropped us just outside the private property and directed us to walk another about 600m to the cave. You get a nice view of the Ramla beach along the way. It was drizzling just before we arrived and the rocks at the entrance of the cave was a...
