Xlendi is a village in Malta situated in the south west of the island of Gozo. It is surrounded by the villages of Munxar, Fontana and Kerċem. The village is administered by Munxar, but has its own coat of arms and motto. From March 2010, Xlendi has had its own 5-person "mini council" responsible for the main activities of the area.
Also Tombs dating Punic-Byzantine times were found in Xlendi, some at St Simon Point (under St Simon Street) and some others in Xlendi Valley. Romans used to port in Xlendi as it has features that can protect from the wind for its cliffs around the bay. In the middle of the bay there is a reef that many ships shipwrecked against it. These ships left a large number of Roman amphora on the sea bed in the mouth of the bay.
The tower guarding the mouth of the bay was built by the Grandmaster Juan de Lascaris-Castellar on 29 June 1650. This was built so pirates or Turks could not disembark from this bay. This tower is still standing. It has, until recently been abandoned with substantial damage caused to the outer walls of the tower. Responsibility for the tower was passed to the Local Council and Din L'Art Helwa in 2010. It is anticipated that restoration work will be commenced during 2011. The Tower was quite important for the British Army in Malta as it was the only tower in the southwest of the island. It was entitled Tower B (secondly in place) to show its importance.
Ix-Xlendi Bay is a popular swimming, snorkelling and diving spot. There is a small sandy beach leading into shallow waters perfect for young and old, while for the more adventurous it is deslightful to swim and snorkel in deeper water off the long stretch of rocks bordering the beach. Because of its reef formations, ix-Xlendi is an ideal diving site, even for beginners. This is also a typical Gozitan fishing village and well-served with good restaurants, bars and hotels. Ix-Xlendi lies on Gozo’s southwest coast and is easily reached by car either through il-Fontana or il-Munxar.
The MV Xlendi was sunk 1999 off shore from Xatt l-Ahmar, Gozo. It's 80 meters long train ferry laying up-side down on a sandy bottom with a maximum depth around 40 meters. More info about Xlendi wreck: http://maltadives.com/sites/mvxlendi-xattlahmar
WELCOME TO XLENDI BAY, Pronounced ( shlendi ) - Xlendi is situated on the south east of Gozo and just 3 km south of the capital Victoria. Xlendi is a picturesque bay that will give you hours of enjoyment. In Xlendi bay you will find fine Bars and Restaurants, two mini food markets, Bank ATM machines, Scuba Diving shops, Souvenir shops, and a regular bus service to Victoria. With endless foot path near the Xlendi Tower. Xlendi is situated to the south west of Gozo. The name is probably derived from the word 'xelandion', a type of Byzantine vessel which may have anchored in the port. The church here is dedicated to the Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel. The front section of the building dates back to 1868; in 1969 it was enlarged at the rear. Dedication of the church took place in 1974.
Despite being relatively small, Malta, an island that lies in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea between Sicily and Africa, offers the travelers lots of natural beauties and historical monuments. There are some megalithic temples, which resemble Stonehenge, a mighty fortress system, romantic cities, and breathtaking baroque and renaissance palaces. Most of Malta’s settlements were built by the knights of St. John of Jerusalem that is why the cities resemble each other so much. Among the natural beauties stand out the Blue Grotto Cave of Malta, and the Azure Window of Gozo. The docks are full with colorful boats. The mild climate and the crystal clear water make Malta a place, worth spending the holiday
A long weekend in Malta including a festival with dancing paper confetti, the glittering Mediterranean sea, Blue Lagoon and exploring around Gozo island hanging off the back of an open jeep with a rock 'n' roll old man as your guide.

Goodnight my love
Remember me as you fall to sleep
Fill your pockets with the dust and the memories
That rises from the shoes on my feet
I won't be back here
Though we may meet again
I know it's dark outside
Don't be afraid
Everytime I ever cried from fear
Was just a mistake that I made
Wash yourself in your tears
And build your church
On the strength of your faith
Please
Listen to me
Don't let go
Don't let this desperate moonlight leave me
With your empty pillow
Promise me the sun will rise again
I too am tired now
Embracing thoughts of tonight's dreamless sleep
My head is empty
My toes are warm
