6Mónêmvasia, Laconia
Mónêmvasia, a medieval fortress town carved into a rock, is a hidden gem in Laconia, Peloponnese. Connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway, this town transports visitors back in time.
Its preserved Byzantine and Venetian architecture, cobbled streets, and ancient churches make it a fascinating place to explore. The views of the Myrtoan Sea from the castle walls are nothing short of spectacular.
