It was my second time in Monemvasia this summer. I have to say the first time I liked it better, the rock seemed more impressive to me. Monemvasia is a special place you do not easily find today. For the more romantic souls, it is the top medieval castle with narrow, stone paths that gives them the impression that a knight will appear, dressed in his strong
armour and having this decisive look in his face!!
Me, I am more practical. I thought it was a lovely, weekend destination but doesn't have much things to see, except for the Old Town. The New Town is just a small village with many cafeterias and some gift shops. Buy amygdalota from the New Town, it is the traditional sweet of Monemvasia. In the Old Town, have your dinner at Tzaki Restaurant. The tables at the balcony give view to the sea, the castle and the famous church of Christos Elkomenos.
I think Monemvasia would also be nice in winter, if you find a room with a fireplace and it is raining or snowing outside, wouldn't it? Very cozy!!
