After some time to familiarize with the yachts, the signal of the Gozo Regatta is given. Heading north-west, the sailing regatta takes the guests along the picturesque north coast of Malta, passing St. Andrews, Bahar Ic-Caghaq, St. Paul’s Bay and the St. Paul’s Islands, Mellieha and Armier, finally ending at the island of Gozo.

* After lunch, we walk out of the Cittadella and head on foot to Ta’ Mena, a small domain found on the road leading to the fishing village of Marsalforn, where one finds organge and lemon trees, vineyards, fresh herbs, olive trees, etc.
* Here the guests first set up camp and are then invited by the owner to assist in picking fruit which is then afterwards used in the production of marmalade, jams, limoncel, etc.
