Hike to the Upper Town (Kastro) and Byzantine Ruins

The walking route leads from the lower town of Monemvasia to the remains of the Byzantine upper town, once the administrative and military center of the fortress. The trail passes through historic walls and ends at the church of Agia Sofia, perched on the edge of a cliff above the sea. During the ascent, impressive views unfold over the Laconian Gulf, the Peloponnese coastline, and the medieval town below the rock. The excursion is ideal for lovers of history, photography, and panoramic viewpoints.
