Monemvasia is one of the most beautiful and attractive regions in Lakonia and Peloponnese. The rock of Monemvasia stands 95 km southeastwards of Sparta and attracts thousands of visitors all year round. A low bridge connects the rock with the coast. The famous castle-town was founded during the Byzantine period and was one of the most important castles in Peloponnese. The stone-built houses, the old manor houses, the Byzantine churches and the strong fortifications cause awe and admiration to every visitor.

The new settlement of Monemvasia is outside the castle walls and offers all tourist facilities. There are many accommodation and entertainment opportunities satisfying all tastes.
