The fortified town of Monemvasia sits upon a rocky peninsula off the east coast of the Peloponnese. Though the 300ft (100m) cliffs proved difficult to conquer, it's strategic position made it a pawn during treaty negotiations.

The lower town and cliff-top fortress were founded in the 6th century and initially served as a refuge during the Slavic and Avaric invasion of Greece. Later, the fortress withstood Arab and Norman invasions in 1147, but finally fell to Achaea after a three year siege in 1248. Over the next few hundred years it was ruled by the Byzantine Empire, then the Vatican, the Venetians, the Ottomans and finally the Greeks.

Today, the lower town has become a quaint tourist village while the upper fortress lies largely in ruins. It's worth the climb up though just to wander the walls and enjoy the views. Watch your step though - you don't want to fall into an ancient cistern!

Monemvasia is a worthy overnight stay. If you aren't up for driving, hop a 4 hour ferry from Athens.

“Nice hotel outside the centre of town but close enough to still get in easily and with some local shops and tavernas close by as well. Restaurant is very expensive for what it is in the evenings and even the staff are clearly embarrassed about that. OTOH they did lay on a free hot meal for late arrivals which wasn't expected but was greatly appreciated. Staff were always polite and helpful. Breakfast is good. Room was clean, well furnished and had a lovely sea view.”

“We had an amazing experience at this very unique hotel. Everything about it was spectacular! Beautiful rooms with stunning view of the port, George was the kindest most welcoming person I’ve met in a long time. The property condition is excellent, within walking distance to everything you need. We will definitely come back to this hotel next time we visit Chania. Thank you George for an amazing experience:)”
