| The Owner of 'Margerita Farmhouse, discount given for 3 nights and over st' says about Xaghra |
Apart from being in itself a picturesque village, the village of Xaghra is rich in historical heritage and therefore has plenty to offer to its visitors. Situated on the north east of the capital town of Victoria, on a lengthy stretch of high ground, Xaghra is encircled by the beautiful bays of Ramla, Ghajn Barrani and Marsalforn, while the valleys of Ramla, Ta' l-Ghejjun and Marsalforn caress this lovely village. Ramla Bay with its unique honey-red sand is by far the most popular beach on the island. On that edge of the town overlooking a splendid view of Ramla Bay, one can find the mythological Calypso Cave, the home of the nymph Calypso mentioned in Homer's Odyssey. Xaghra is certainly one of the spots in Gozo where there has been human habitation since extremely early times. Here one can find the Neolithic temples of Ggantija, which are acknowledged to be the oldest free-standing structures in the world.
