ENCHANTING BREAK IN MONEMVASIA
This itinerary goes through the following steps:
Day 1 - 5: Monemvasia
Day 6: End of the trip
A charming and authentic region of Greece
At first sight, Monemvassia seems too far away from Athens to consider a short stay there. But a new motorway has made this site easily accessible, and convert this authentic village in an ideal place for a short stay. There is even a ferry from Athens to Monemvassia, for people who would like to cruise along the Peloponnese coast. It can also be tailor-made to your needs.

Our advices for this travel in Greece:
- Visit the upper and lower parts of the town as you wander around. You will need a day to explore the narrow streets, visit the churches, walk along the battlements, explore the acropolis ruins and walk up to the citadel located at the top of a rock. The view is so spectacular that you will probably want to walk up there for a second time!
- Go for an evening walk through the labyrinth of streets and lose yourself in its numerous alleyways.
- Relax on the café and restaurant terraces facing the harbour in the modern town.
- From the kastro, head through the fortifications to the Portello pontoon
- You can also go swimming near the lower town or head to beautiful beaches less than 5 kilometres away.
- If you have a car, you can go on a day trip and explore the nearby Mani peninsula.
- Visit Elafonisos, a splendid beach at the tip of the peninsula.
- Visit Kyparissi, one of the most beautiful villages in Greece. In the middle of nowhere, on a small road north of Monemvassia.
Have an amazing experience in Greece!
