Kastro - Old Town Monemvasia

A medieval fortified town perched on a rocky peninsula and connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway, after which Monemvasia got its name ('one entrance'). Within its massive walls, stone houses, churches, squares, and narrow cobblestone streets are preserved, reflecting the town's Byzantine, Venetian, and Ottoman heritage. Thanks to its well-preserved historical ambiance and the absence of car traffic, a walk through Kastro offers a unique experience of one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Greece.
