Malta Airport to Gozo: Taxi to Ċirkewwa, Ferry and Transfer

Gozo has no airport of its own, so visitors land at Malta International Airport and cross by ferry from Ċirkewwa, at the northern tip of Malta, to Mġarr. The drive to Ċirkewwa is about 27 km; the transfer quote put it at 45 minutes.

Taxi to Ċirkewwa

The airport's fixed taxi fare to Ċirkewwa is €37 per car, paid at the booth in the arrivals hall or through the Malta Taxi app.

Bus

The TD1 Airport Direct bus runs to Ċirkewwa by way of Rabat, Buġibba and Mellieħa every hour, for €3.50 per person paid on board.

The ferry

Gozo Channel ferries sail between Ċirkewwa and Mġarr around the clock all year, first come, first served. Foot passengers do not pay on the way out: the ticket is paid at Mġarr when you leave Gozo, so check the current fare on the Gozo Channel site before you travel.

Pre-booked transfer

A pre-booked transfer to the Ċirkewwa ferry terminal was quoted at €42 for a sedan, slightly more than the taxi. It suits late arrivals, when you want to be sure of a car for the whole 45-minute run to the ferry.

Fast ferry from Valletta

The other way across is the passenger fast ferry from Valletta to Mġarr; the TD4 bus runs from the airport to its terminal every 30 minutes. Fares depend on the operator, so check before you go.
