Between Malta and Gozo lies Comino, a near-empty islet with the Blue Lagoon: turquoise water, caves and cliffs you can only see from the sea. Here you can compare the boat trips (catamaran with the Santa Maria Caves, Comino and Gozo, from Mellieħa, Italian-speaking guide), what they cost, the free pass you need to go ashore, the public ferry to Gozo and the hour-by-hour weather and wind.
