Boats banned from sailing close to Azure Window in Gozo, but people can still walk on it

Transport Malta today issued a notice to mariners to ban boats from getting close to the Azure Window in Gozo. 

The authority issued the notice following recent reports that parts of the structure are crumbling. 

Transport Malta is requesting boat drivers to heed the notice for their safety and the safety of persons or passengers on board.

The ban comes in the wake of a report in The Malta Independent that people are still walking on the rock structure in spite of its fragility. Yet no ban has as yet been issued to stop this particular practice.
