Calypso's Cave
Calypso's Cave (Maltese: L-ghar ta' Calisso) is a natural cave, located on the western side of the Ramla bay, Gozo. The cave is alleged to be the one references in The Odyssey as the cave where the nymph Calypso kept Odysseus prisoner for seven years.[1][2] The cave is currently closed to the public for fear of collapse.[3] The cave is commonly confused with Tal' Mixta Cave, which is located on the other side of Ramla Bay.
