Residence overlooking the imposing rock of Monemvasia
The Castle Town of Monemvasia is among the most impressive places in Greece. Located on the south-eastern side of Peloponnese, Monemvasia was entirely carved on the backside of a sea rock in Medieval times. This huge sea rock is not visible from the mainland so that the locals could avoid enemy attacks. The only way to reach Monemvasia was by boat, while later on a paved pathway was constructed to connect the castle entrance to the mainland. This is how the name came out, meaning a single passage. A new town has been constructed in the mainland, just opposite the rock. A walk around the Castle Town is a travel to the past, while the sea view from the castle top is breath-taking.
Agia Kyriaki is right next to Pori one of the longest and most impressive beaches in the Peloponnese, with an excellent view of old Monemvasia and its fortress. Almost two kilometres in length, Pori beach is ideal for seaside walks, jogging and beach volley.
