Located in the northwest of Gozo, Ghasri is considered the smallest village on the island of Gozo. The name of the village is derived from the Semitic verb “taghsar”, which means “to squeeze”. It could be that the name derived from the fact that olives were squeezed and pressed in this part of Gozo to make Olive Oil. Punic tombs were found in various locations across the village, meaning that people have inhabited the area for many years. Places to discover around Ghasri include the Parish Church, charming chapels, the Gordan Lighthouse for breathtaking views, and Wied l-Ghasri (Ghasri Valley), a hidden bay where one can swim. The tranquil village is surrounded by open country views and distance sea views.
