Calypso's Cave is a natural limestone cave on the island of Gozo, traditionally associated with the nymph Calypso from Homer's Odyssey, who is said to have detained Odysseus here for seven years. While the cave itself is modest, its main draw is the stunning panoramic view of Ramla Bay's red sand beach and the surrounding coastline. Visitors can peer into the cave and enjoy the scenic overlook, making it a popular stop for mythology enthusiasts and photographers.
