Kercem on Gozo is a charming village that seamlessly blends history and culture and is known for its warm and welcoming atmosphere. Kercem is an excellent area for not only families; it attracts a diverse range of residents seeking a peaceful and idyllic lifestyle in a village conveniently located right next to the capital Victoria. Archaeological evidence have shown that Kercem has been occupied as early as 5000–4500 BC.
The community of Kercem is characterised by a mix of locals and expatriates, creating a vibrant tapestry of cultures. Traditional Maltese families have long called Kercem home but in recent years, the area has also become popular among expats and retirees drawn to its serene ambience and the preservation of an authentic Maltese way of life.
One of the key reasons Kercem stands out as an excellent area is its tranquil surroundings and convenient location. The village is surrounded by lush countryside, offering stunning views of rolling hills and even vineyards and it is at the crossroads going to Victoria, Xlendi, Ta’Pinu, Gharb and San Lawrenz. It is easy to walk from Kercem to any of the adjoining villages, especially the capital of Victoria.
