Calypso Cave

Calypso Cave is located in a cliff just off Xaghra; overlooking Gozo’s most sought-after sandy beach, Ramla Bay.

 

This site is thought to be the same cave Homer mentioned in `The Odyssey' where Calypso, the beautiful nymph, kept Odysseus as a `prisoner of love' for seven years.

 

Calypso had promised him immortality if he stayed with her, but he escaped when he could, and returned to his wife Penelope.
