The heliport is notable for its proximity to the impressive Rotunda of Xewkija, one of the largest unsupported domes in the world.
💡 Local Tip

🚖 Getting There
Taxis and local buses are available near the heliport for onward travel around Gozo. Car rental agencies are also nearby if you plan to explore the island independently. Renting a quad bike or jeep is a popular option for navigating Gozo's rural roads and scenic coastal areas.
