MALTA & GOZO |
|
|
Unlike on Malta, some of the salt pans on Gozo are not carved in natural stone, buth their sides are made from cemented loose rocks. Nevertheless, the geometrical structures are beautiful and the contrasting colors of sea combined with the rocks breathtaking. The use of salt pans to produce sea salt goes back to Phoenician times, when Malta (Melita) and Gozo (Gaulos) were colonized by the Phoenicians. Unlike the popular belief that Malta is Europe's most southern point, this is not the case, although the difference is only about one degree. The Greek island of Gavdos, at a latitude of 34°50 North and 24° East is Europe's most southern teritory.  Previous page
