The picturesque medieval town of Monemvasia
Monemvasia is located on a small island just 1500m long and no more than 600m wide connected to the mainland by a 200m causeway. In fact its name comes from the Greek words for “single” and “entrance” (mono & emvasia). There are two fortified settlements on the rock (the upper town and the lower town) although neither can be seen from the mainland.
