Area informationSitting on a huge cliff-ringed rock, washed by the sea on three sides and connected to land by a small pontoon on the fourth, the Byzantine town of Monemvasia has as unlikely and enthralling a setting as you could wish for. Its tight-packed, cream-stone houses are immaculately preserved within the formidable walls, many of them now renovated by rich Athenians as stylish guesthouses. Above them rears the Gibraltar-like rock, crowned by more walls, crumbling chapels and countless cisterns and vaults for the huge army which once occupied this prime viewpoint. Monemvassia or Monemvasia or Malvasy is a medieval fortress with an adjacent town. Nowadays, the fortress has become a world wide visit attraction in which visitors have the opportunity to see its defensive structures, the small adjacent town and many Byzantine churches. The founding of the fortress of Monemvasia occured in the 6th Century AD, when people from the close by villages were seeeking refuge from the Slavic invasion of Greece. In recent times, Monemvasia is a thriving community with ever increasing level of tourists. The visitors to Monemvasia may arrange daily trips to nearby places of interest, such as the famous 'Caves of Dyros' (41 miles), the beautiful lagoon of Gerakas (12 miles), the fortress of Mystras (52 miles) among others. For the romantic couples, the Castle of Monemvasia offers something extra-ordinary, with restaurants and bars looking over the sea and stunning views at dawn.

Photo albumPeloponnese, the three-pronged ?island of Pelops?, the mythical chariot-racing king, was not in fact an island until the 1890?s, when the narrow isthmus at Corinth was finally severed by a shipping canal. Many people still consider it part of the mainland. But it is culturally and scenically very distinct ? and very rich. It boasts the largest and most spectacular concentration of ancient sites, including royal Mycenae, therapeutic Epidavros and athletic Olympia, where the Olympic games were founded. Less known but equally fascinating are the many Byzantine (medieval) cities, churches and fortresses, including the hilltown of Mystras and the sea-rock of Monemvasia. The rugged Mani peninsula, central of the three ?fingers?, positively bristles with towers and frescoed chapels. Or, if you fancy something more civilised, check out the elegant seaside town of Nafplion, with its narrow alleys, tiled houses, castles and festivals. Those who prefer natural wonders to man-made will not be disappointed. The southerly mountain range of Taygetus offers breathtaking gorges, spring flowers, jagged 8000-foot peaks and well-maintained mulepaths to link them. Some of Greece?s finest beaches can be found on the westren finger around Pilos, or along the endless pine-shaded strand that forms the west coast. The northerly ranges around Kalavrita conceal historic monasteries, fir forests, lakes and an unbelievable rack-and-pinion railway route. This is the ancient Greeks? arcadia, and you can see why. If someone is looking to visit just one part of Greece with a bit of everything, Peloponnese is certainly the place, with Monemvasia being the most precious jewel of it. , | |
