This evening, we once again had one of those perfect moments. Nearby where we live, there is a cave at the seaside with thermal baths, which are large enough to hold the entire family. The water is about exactly the same temperature as an ideal bath at home. When entering the cave, there is a plate praising the therapeutic effects for skin and bones. It also claims that you are actually entering the cave of Calypso, as cited in the Odyssey, on Ulysses' journey. However, this kind of linkage of local sites to well-known mythical scenes is apparently common practice of community tourist offices around the Mediterranean. Therefore, it could well be that there are a dozen other Calypso's caves in the region.
