The best way for getting around in Gozo is by scooter. The not excessive extension of the island, in fact, makes it ideal to be turned on a motorcycle; or, even by bike. Public transport is a valid alternative. The buses, as for the neighboring Malta, are modern, reliable and with good frequencies.
SCOOTER AND BIKE
The two-wheeler is the best way for getting around Gozo and get around the island. On scooters you can move freely.
The state of the roads is certainly not excellent. The same applies to maintenance. Many stretches, far from the capital, are on a dirt road. Also, take into account some steep climbs (not many).
An 125cc scooter would be ideal.
For the bike, it is worth the speech of Malta. In these parts, despite the recent improvements, I’m not very used to seeing cyclists around. The cycle paths are almost non-existent.
Nevertheless, the bike is a great way to get around Gozo and explore the island. Especially before sunset.
Near the ferry terminal, in Mgarr, there are numerous agencies for bike, scooter and quad rentals. For an 125cc scooter, in general, the rates are around 20/25 € per day, for a week.
