Calypso Cave sits above Ramla Bay on Gozo, near Xagħra. The cave is closed because of damage and safety concerns, but you can still walk to the viewpoint for a wide view over the bay. Its name comes from the nymph Calypso in Homer’s Odyssey, giving the site a link to Greek myth. Free parking is available nearby. If you want to explore a cave rather than admire the view, other caves across the valley may be a better stop, as some are open to enter.
