Gozo, Malta’s Diminutive Sister
Gozo, Malta’s Diminutive SisterI’m at the entrance to Calypso Cave on the island of Gozo and can just about see Sicily only 60 miles away. It’s claimed that Odysseus was kept here as a prisoner of love for 7 years by the nymph Calypso until he appealed to Zeus and was set free. He would have had a fantastic view of Ramla Bay, just below, which is the best beach on the island. It’s a smear of orange sand fringed by the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean and in early March is completely deserted.
