Gozo, there isn’t a better hub for transport than

Valletta Public TransportThe first thing to know is that the main bus terminal in the city is located right beside the Triton Fountain, just a few minutes’ walk from the
Grand Hotel Excelsior. Complimentary transfers are included with all
Chevron package holidays, however, if you are planning on using public transort this makes it incredibly easy and convenient to get to the capital from Malta International Airport. The best bus to get from the main terminal is the X4. At peak times it leaves every 20 minutes and takes just 20min to get right in the heart of the city.
Taxis are also a very popular way to get in to town after touchdown. They take on average 12 minutes and cost €15. Taxi fares are paid in advance before travel. It’s very common in Malta as it doesn’t mean passengers can be overcharged for their travel.

To Bugibba – route 31 & 45
