Ggantija means 'belonging to the giants' — early Maltese couldn't believe humans had built structures with stone blocks weighing up to 50 tonnes. Calypso's Cave, overlooking Ramla Bay, is traditionally identified as the location where the nymph Calypso held Odysseus captive for seven years in Homer's Odyssey. The cave has collapsed and is currently unsafe to enter, but the viewpoint above it remains one of Gozo's finest.
