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

Upper Town Stairs & Gate 🏰 — Monemvasia panorama

Highlight • Historical Site

If climbing the steep ramp up to the gate to the walled upper town hasn't taken your breath away, the views probably will.

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

Gefira Beach – across from Monemvasia island

Highlight • Beach

At the port is a free parking lot, with this small sandy beach that has the best view of the Monemvasia island and the causeway now connecting it to the mainland.

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.

12.0 km

Central Square 🏰 Monemvasia 🏘️ Lower Town

Highlight • Historical Site

The attractive central square is surrounded by historic churches and museums. View of the ocean across the ramparts to the south and the walled upper town towering to the North.
