1Monemvasia, Peloponnese
Often called the “Gibraltar of Greece,” Monemvasia is a medieval town hidden behind a massive rock on the southeastern Peloponnese coast. Cobbled streets, Byzantine churches, and sea views create a fairytale atmosphere. In high season, the narrow lanes can feel cramped, but in quieter times, it’s as if you’ve stepped into another century. Walking the empty pathways of the old town at dusk is unforgettable.
