With a population of just 1,590, Għarb is a sleepy village on the far western edge of Gozo. The medieval core and baroque church offer glimpses of Malta's historic charm, but bureaucracy is a persistent headache for residents. The surrounding countryside is scenic, but the remote location means access to services and amenities can be limited. Għarb is best suited for those seeking a tranquil, rural lifestyle far from the crowds - though it may prove too isolated for many.
