Highlight • Castle

The magic of this small town in the off-season and without hundreds of Crusaders temporarily calling at it is indescribable

Central Square 🏰 Monemvasia 🏘️ Lower Town

Historic City Gate of Monemvasia 🏰

Highlight • Castle

Main gate into the historic walled lower city on the strategic peninsula; from here everything happens on foot. No cars or motorized vehicles can enter, and even bikes are not convenient on the many stairs.

Monemvasia Trail

Highlight • Trail

Leave the narrow paved road with the busy tourist busses below and use the pedestrian trail running a little higher above. It is quieter and has a better view
