10Monemvasia: The Hidden Castle Town
Nestled on a small island off the southeastern coast of the Peloponnese, Monemvasia is a fairytale town frozen in time. Connected to the mainland by a causeway, this medieval fortress town boasts narrow cobblestone streets, Byzantine churches, and stone-built houses that seem to rise organically from the rocky terrain. Wander through the arched passages, explore the preserved buildings, and feel the magic of this hidden castle town overlooking the Aegean Sea.
