Excursion Monemvasia castle city tour at Monemvasia

Experience the medieval grandeur of Greece during this excursion to Monemvasia.

Go ashore by Zodiac and take a short transfer to Monemvasia. Built on a rock, this medieval castle city appears barren from the mainland. However, upon closer inspection, Monemvasia is a veritable treasure trove of impressive walls and remains.

Take a guided walking tour through the narrow lanes of the castle city. Along the way, see ruins of houses and Byzantine churches. One church that survived intact is the Church of Christ Elkomenos. Built in the 13th century and renovated during a period of Venetian occupation, it serves as the city's cathedral and displays four surviving Byzantine icons. Following your guided tour of the town, some free time is made available to explore your surrounds at your leisure.
