Hmm. That title ought to catch the eye of a mythology buff or any student who has read The Odyssey. Here on the island of Gozo (a part of the Republic of Malta) the locals claim that this cave was where the enchanting nymph Calypso made her home. In fact, Gozo's sobriquet (look it up ;) ) is "The Isle of Calypso." We have included links to pictures of this mythological and intriguing cave at the end of this post. We even added a link to The Odyssey!
Another notable natural wonder in Malta is the Blue Lagoon. We found this when we were visiting the island via Google Earth. It is absolutely GORGEOUS! The Blue Lagoon is found off the island of Comino. It's sheltered, brilliantly blue water gives the appearance of a natural swimming pool. You must (haha) look this up on Google Earth--it's beautiful!
