Scene on Gozo launches an independent 84-page guide for travellers who want to discover the island they’ve seen on screen
Scene on Gozo launches Gozo in a Day: Film & TV Location Guide, a new independent travel guide helping visitors explore Gozo through the dozens of films and TV shows shot on the island.
The 84-page full-colour guide, available as a PDF, eBook or paperback, turns Gozo’s screen history into a practical one-day route through three of the island’s most recognisable areas: Victoria, Dwejra and Mġarr Harbour. It includes more than 80 locations from 40 productions, colour photos, an interactive map, practical route notes, suggested routes, along with visitor advice for travellers who want more than a rushed day trip and a few blurry photos.
Scene on Gozo began after fans of popular British cozy crime series The Madame Blanc Mysteries started travelling to Gozo to find the real locations behind the fictional Sainte Victoire and struggled to find accurate or useful information. The site has since grown into a wider Gozo travel and screen-tourism resource, covering productions filmed on Gozo and Comino alongside practical guides to ferries, transport, villages, beaches, events and trip planning.
Gozo in a Day: Film & TV Location Guide features locations connected to The Madame Blanc Mysteries, Game of Thrones, Coronation Street, Żejtune, Treasure in Malta and 30-plus other productions filmed on or around Gozo.

Kerry Gaffney, founder and editor of Scene on Gozo, said:
“Scene on Gozo started because fans of The Madame Blanc Mysteries were coming to Gozo and trying to find the real filming locations, but the information just wasn’t available. I wanted to make the guide I wished existed: practical, accurate and useful on the ground, not just a list of pretty places, and without the phrase ‘hidden gem’ appearing once.”
The guide is designed for visitors staying on Gozo, travellers coming over from Malta for the day, film and TV location fans, and Madame Blanc viewers who want to connect what they have seen on screen with the real Gozo.
Gaffney added:
“Gozo’s screen career is much more interesting and extensive than many realise, boasting a filming history that spans over 70 years. This guide is about helping people turn that into a proper day out, with enough practical detail to make the island easier to explore and enough screen history to make the places feel alive.”
Gozo in a Day: Film & TV Location Guide is available now as a PDF, ebook and paperback.
