Whereas Malta is quite thoroughly settled and has some major urban areas, Gozo is far more rural and rustic. Across its hilly landscape, villages are separated by fields and valleys. Comino, which lies between Malta and Gozo, is more rugged and sparse. However, because it lacks cars and people, Comino is the most serene of the islands and home to the
Blue Lagoon, a popular swimming spot. Finally there are the really small islands like
St Paul’s Island that really come into play.
