Following the Game of Thrones to check in the famous filming location - Azure Window

Malta has three blues, the Blue Window, the Blue Hole, and the Blue Lagoon, and the Blue Window was once the most famous one. When you come to Gozo Island in Malta, you will definitely not miss this famous Azure Window.

Located at the end of a cliff, it is a natural arch formed by limestone. Its huge size is like a natural sea cave formed by the sea here after thousands of years of erosion and wind erosion. It is a special geological wonder. Through the naturally formed stone arch, you can see the spectacular view of the sea and sky. Unfortunately, in March 2017, due to long-term wind erosion and wave impact, the Blue Window collapsed after a storm. Therefore, what we see here today is just a huge cliff and limestone, and we can only vaguely discern the appearance of the Blue Window at that time. The huge stone beach on the coast has been eroded by the sea and is pitted, and the mountains in the distance have also been gouged out by the sea breeze. 🔶Snorkeling There is also a cave near the Blue Window where you can snorkel, but unfortunately the boat that entered the cave before winter did not open this time. If you come here in summer, bring your swimsuit, you can snorkel here or follow the boat into the cave for a tour. 📍Navigation: It-Tieqa tad-Dwejra, Gozo 🚗Transportation: Drive by yourself or take the sightseeing bus on the island and get off at the sixth station Dwejra, you can take the next bus to leave on the return journey.
