The city owes its name to its location, Greek moni emvasia (μόνη εμβασία) means “only access”. It was considered the 'Gibraltar of the East' until Greek independence in 1821-30 because of the great difficulties associated with attempts to conquer it. The city is also the namesake of Malvasia, a grape variety that was exported from there.

Location: The place Monemvasia is on the seaward south-east side of a rock about 194 meters high[2] and 1.8 km long. The settlement consists of two parts: the walled medieval lower town on the slope of the cliff and the citadel on the top of the cliff, which can only be reached via a single path, often winding, steep and well secured. The citadel has not been inhabited since the 1920s.
