Monemvasia is more than an island; it's a fortress carved into a towering rock, accessible only through a single bridge. Step back in time as you stroll age-old streets lined with stone houses and ancient churches, echoing the bygone Byzantine, Venetian, and Ottoman empires. Climb to the upper town, where the breathtaking Aegean Sea stretches before you, and explore the ruins of a once-mighty castle. Bask in the Mediterranean sun, relax on nearby beaches, or take your time at a harbourside taverna before rejoining the crew.
