Festival Mediterranea is an annual celebration of culture let off at the very
heart of the Mediterranean, on the history-laden island of Gozo.
Mythology has it that the charm of this island aided the most beautiful nymphCalypso to halt Ulysses on his journeys and hair-raising quests, to lull him, and
lure him away from his travels for seven mystical years. Today, Gozos charm seeksto lure its visitors into a kaleidoscope of events, a celebration at that time of yearthat is in itself magical in this part of the world. Through Festival Mediterraneas
different events, visitors will embark on their very own cultural adventure surngthrough the islands seven thousand years of known history.
The festival uncovers the island in all its aspects, without eliminating the thrills
of exploration and discovery. Festival Mediterranea offers all that Gozo boasts of inthe cultural and artistic arena. Opera. Classical and symphonic music. A wealth ofhistory that is Gozos heritage. The creativity of the Gozitans who are islanders, a
true and genuine people ... as are their products. And the backdrop to this festival isGozos sheer, natural beauty in warm autumn, October and November.
Festival Mediterranea unveils Gozo as a mosaic of Mediterranean civilisation,
heritage and art. It is indeed a showpiece of a hundred things our own, anopportunity for a break from the routine of conventional life; a chance to immerse
oneself in the mellow world of Gozos autumn, and explore and live the culturaltradition of its 7000 years of history. Live the Mediterranean.
