Why have I not been informed about this beautiful little town before now?
In case you haven't heard either, it is well worth a visit next time you are on the beautiful island of Gozo. Xlendi is in the South-West, a small little town which has developed from fishing village into a touristy Riviera-style resort.
We visited in May, so the weather was good but the town was not too crowded. Booked a hotel room for 2 in the Ulyssses Apart-Hotel for just €50 with continental-style(-ish) breakfast included. Great value and just a few steps from the waterfront.
So what exactly does one do in Xlendi?
Not a tremendous amount other than sitting at bars and restaurants and admiring the view. For the more energetic: a not-too-demanding cliff walk will work off a few calories; you can just jump into the water and splash about; and there are diving schools happy to take you out for some sub-aquatic adventures.
Mainly I would recommend Xlendi as a good base from which to travel around the island - particularly if you either have a car or plan to use one of the 'Hop-On' bus services. Otherwise there is a local bus which takes you up to Victoria once an hour.
Great spot to spend a night or two - you'll thank me later!
