A journey through time with a medieval touch begins at Monemvasia! This astonishing medieval tower town, located in Peloponnese, Greece, will take your breath away, as you explore the mystical stone-built settlement and immerse yourself in a unique medieval atmosphere. Peer into the history of the fortress – the so-called “Gibraltar of the East” - a virtual showcase of Byzantine, Turkish, and Venetian history, dating back to the 13th century.
The “Kástro” (castle) is divided into two parts, the lower and upper town. You’ll enjoy climbing the steep zigzag that leads up and up and, as you reach the uninhabited upper part of town, you will come across the remains of old Byzantine buildings and the Fortress of Youlás, offering a spectacular view of the city. In the lower part of the town, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the ruins of the historic buildings situated there, including the Muslim Mosque, Archaeological Museum, and the magnificent Byzantine churches. Lastly, never leave this town without trying the local food and drinks and buying some traditional products. Read more and let these Airbnb vacation rentals take you to Monemvasia, Greece!
