The fortified town of Monemvasia sits upon a rocky peninsula off the east coast of the Peloponnese. Though the 300ft (100m) cliffs proved difficult to conquer, it's strategic position made it a pawn during treaty negotiations.

The lower town and cliff-top fortress were founded in the 6th century and initially served as a refuge during the Slavic and Avaric invasion of Greece. Later, the fortress withstood Arab and Norman invasions in 1147, but finally fell to Achaea after a three year siege in 1248. Over the next few hundred years it was ruled by the Byzantine Empire, then the Vatican, the Venetians, the Ottomans and finally the Greeks.

Today, the lower town has become a quaint tourist village while the upper fortress lies largely in ruins. It's worth the climb up though just to wander the walls and enjoy the views. Watch your step though - you don't want to fall into an ancient cistern!

Monemvasia is a worthy overnight stay. If you aren't up for driving, hop a 4 hour ferry from Athens.

"My wife and I had a lovely stay, the concierge at arrival was very polite and helpful and he couldn’t do enough for us, we had everything we needed for our stay in the room, including a safe and air conditioning, the views from our room over the harbour were lovely. My wife and I would most definitely go back there to stay, and I would like to say the staff are a credit to the owners of the apartments as they do a fantastic job and are very friendly and welcoming "

"We needed a place to spend the night before a transatlantic flight next day. It was the most relaxing night, we ordered food from a nearby place that arrived within 15 minutes. We made a fire in the common area that has a wood burning fireplace, enjoyed a glass of wine the place offered us. The host was great and pleasant. Despite being 10 min from the airport we didn’t hear the noise of airplanes. Very quiet, nested in pistachio trees and vineyards. Definitely the place to stay every time we...
