Monemvasia

Before we got to Monemvasia on our Peloponese trip. we stopped at a prehistoric site that is the Mycenean Palace Vasilios. It is an active excavation site, so things were mostly under tarps. Not much to see.

Monemvasia, on the other hand holds many beautiful sites. The town is located on a small island linked by a 200 m causeway pictured directly below these sentences. It was the site of a powerful medieval fortress and town walls as well as Byzantine churches still remain.

Doorway to enter the fortress/town.
