2Monemvasia, Peloponnese

Often referred to as the “Gibraltar of Greece,” Monemvasia is a hidden fortress town on a small island off the eastern coast of the Peloponnese. The town is connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway, giving it the appearance of a floating castle.

Monemvasia’s well-preserved medieval architecture, ancient churches, and narrow alleyways make it a romantic and historically rich destination. You can spend your days exploring the labyrinthine streets, visiting the historical sites, or relaxing on the picturesque beaches. Be sure to try the local Malvasia wine, which has been produced in the region for centuries.
