upper town of monemvasia印象

I have now been to Monemvasia twice and will gladly revisit if I am in the area again.This medieval castle town which until 1971 was accessible only by the sea is not visible from the mainland (where the new town has been built); now you an drive over the causeway connecting it to the mainland all the way to the castle entrance and park freely along this road.The streets of the castle town are only wide enough for pedestrians and donkeys; a lot of the old mansions have been converted to guesthouses and boutique hotels. There are a lot of bars, restaurants and boutiques selling local handicrafts and products.A stop in the main square where you can visit the famous church of Christos Elkomenos (Christ in Chains) as well as take photos from the square overlooking the sea.Another stop is in front of the house and bust sculpture of Yannis Ritsos, the poet born here in 1909.Finally if you are up to it and have good shoes, you can climb all the way up to the mountain and visit the Agia Sophia church and take in the spectacular view of the surroundings.

Fantastic three day escape - sweet restaurants, great accommodation options and a lovely space. They are doing quite a bit of renovation so the upper castle wasn't accessible but still incredible to be there.

There is something heavenly about this place. We visited it in late May of 2013. Yes, this is a late posting and I noticed someone said it was closed! Eek! I hope it re-opens! When we did the trail, the wild flowers, grasses and clover were out in abundance and the bees were buzzing away. The air was so fragrant.The ambience was peaceful, yet the sleepy, but ever present past was made tangible by the ruins of buildings strewn along the cliff top. We explored some of the paths along the cliff. The view is breath-taking. Some paths will lead you to a vantage point where you will be able to see the Old town below. Of course once this area is explored the gorgeous quaint town below awaits offering great food and refreshing drinks!

Apart from the very interesting ruins of the past...the scenic shops ,3-4 greek-cuisine taverns, and some bars with easy listening music bars with astonished view to the old houses of the castle and the open Aegean sea are completing the now a day alive Monemvasia...Any body has to visit this magnificent place of the South Peloponnese!!!

Hotel Kalderimi where we spend a night was perfect. The couple Paraskevas and Fotini who run it are very friendly and kind. The place is out of this world. Had some problems with the behaviour of locals and the prices are comparatively high.

A magical journey to the past!! Spectacular view, amazing architecture, a miracle of nature.A definate must -see in southern Peloponese.

Hidden out of the way from the new Town of Monemvasia and accessible via a 15 minute walk along a causeway, this old gem of a town really surprises when you enter through the fortified walls. Its old narrow streets and buildings have a magical blast from the past quality and will not fail to impress. Prices in the tavernas tended to be more than in the new town but it is still worth sitting down with a beer or wine to take in the ambience.

The citadel of Monemvasia have a unique place in old greek cities. It is the only one castle with habitants in our days, in Greece. It is hide from the land and you can not ss him from the city shore of Monemvasia. You must cross the see on the road, to the island, in front of Monemvasia city, and go a few hundreds of meters on the right. If you there early in the morning you will be rewarded with some of unique views. If you travel in the South of Greece, this is the hidden pearl of region!

it is definitely worth a visit. it's a unique experience as you walk through an original castle-town. it's an once in a lifetime experience to watch the vistas as you drink or eat something in the castle. but be careful it is slippery wear snickers...

Loved the beautiful medieval streets all with gorgeous bars and restaurants as you walked through the pebbled roads. BeautifulChurch and views from the top. All the gorgeous shops also along the way. Beautiful surrounding beaches and town. Definitely more than a day trip needed here.
