A trip to Monemvasia would be worth it even if all you did was wander around the timeless alleys of its dreamy medieval castle. Yet, there's more to Monemvasia than enjoying almost unbearably romantic strolls around a scenery that feels as though it has sprung out of the pages of a fairytale. In Monemvasia Castle, don't hesitate to learn the exciting history of the fortress on guided tours of its Lower and Upper Town. Outside of the medieval settlement, get ready to delve into the magic of the countryside of Laconia by hiking along scenic paths and savoring the superb products of this blessed land: olive oil, wine, and honey. To take Monemvasia's flavors back home with you, we'd recommend joining a cooking or bread-making class for a taste of authentic local cuisine and a journey into its secrets.
