I shall be visiting Malta for two weeks this summer and shall be staying in Mellieha, located in the north of the island, close to the ferry terminal where one can travel to its sister island - Gozo. Using only the local bus network as well as visiting the capital Valletta I would like to see as much of Malta (towns, villages, landmarks, places of interest etc....) as possible in a logical & systematic way. As Malta is one of the smallest nations in Europe (hopefully) this should be fairly achievable.

Any guidance on using the bus service on Malta (& Gozo) in this regard would be much appreciated.

This is feasible without any problem. Malta has a very dense bus network, operated by Malta Public Transport. It provides the usual local connections, airport transfers and in some places even night buses. It's straightforward to use. You can use the journey planner, to get an idea of the available options.

The price of a single ticket is €2.50 during the day and €3.00 at night, and there are discounts for day tickets or 7 day tickets. Having a car is not so practical, it can even be cumbersome.

Gozo can be easily reached by ferry. The price for a single trip is €4.65. Malta Public Transport also operates a bus network on Gozo.
