Here's the thing lots of visitors get wrong: the Blue Lagoon is not on Gozo. It's on Comino, the little island between Gozo and mainland Malta. But if you're staying on Gozo, you're perfectly placed — Mġarr harbour is the shortest crossing to Comino there is.

Clear this up firstGozo ≠ Comino. Gozo is the larger sister island (Victoria, Azure Window ruins, Ramla Bay). Comino is the tiny island where the Blue Lagoon is. Many cruises visit both in one day — which is exactly why people mix them up.
