Calypso's Cave, perched on the cliffs above Ramla Bay, is a natural limestone cave steeped in mythology. According to Homer's Odyssey, this is where the nymph Calypso held Odysseus captive for seven years. While the cave itself is small and partially collapsed, the main draw is the spectacular viewpoint over the red sands of Ramla Bay and the Mediterranean. Visitors can peer into the cave and enjoy the sweeping vista, making it a popular photo spot and a must for mythology enthusiasts.
