View of Calypso Cave from Ramla Bay

Categories & Tags: Beaches People
A vintage photograph capturing a scenic view of Calypso Cave overlooking the terraced hillside above Ramla Bay in Gozo. The image, dated early 20th century, showcases two men with a dog by the reflective shoreline, possibly engaging in hunting or fishing. The rugged landscape, with its traditional dry-stone walls and agricultural terraces, highlights Gozo’s rural charm. The cave, linked to the legend of Homer's Odyssey, is believed to be where the nymph Calypso kept Odysseus captive.
