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.

"Everything we needed in the gorgeous spacious clean tasteful and homely villa with the most relaxing atmosphere and stunning views. We loved exploring Paros, but loved coming home to Martineli more! Thank you to Nikos and family for your welcoming hospitality and delicious meals, fresh fish and squid to die for! You really made our long trip from New Zealand so worth it (great to be met at the airport). We definitely would be staying regularly if we lived nearer. Kia mihi from the kiwi girls...

"A Wonderful Stay in a Modern Yet Characterful VillaWe had a fantastic time at Orsalia.

Nothing was ever too much trouble.The villa lived up to the photos, and the pool was a standout feature: crystal clear, clean, and perfect for relaxing.

Villa in Mykonos

"This Villa is AMAZING and the host is INCREDIBLE! The pictures are great but do not even come close to showing how beautiful and luxurious this property is. The views are just unbelievable. The pool is goregous. There is a enclosed entertainment space separate from the house. It is the perfect house for a vacation! This villa is about 15 min by car to the Old Port in Mykonos, but the host arranged for a van (there were 9 of us) to bring us from the port to the house and from the house back to...

"From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a very welcoming host. He was always available whenever we had questions. The villa was absolutely beautiful and spotless, and the pool quickly became the kids’ best friend throughout the holiday. The old town of Rethymno was just a 20-minute drive away. All in all, a perfect stay – Alexandros was the man with the big smile and always ready to help."

"Spectacular property, both in terms of the view and the villa itself. There were plenty of supplies in the house as well, although it would've been good if there'd been some charcoal/firefighters for the BBQ and some olive oil. Only other thing to add is that there were a lot of cats in the close vicinity; wasn't a problem for us because we love cats, but some people may not. Also, one of them (a big white male) didn't look to be in the best health. I don't know what the protocol is with strays...

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortable bed. Great welcome drink and appetizer. Friendly staff and an awesome breakfast. "

Amazon Mykonos Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"This by far is the best property in Mykonos. The staff is amazing so helpful with anything you ask for literally anything. From the check in process they greet you with a glass of champagne and a warm welcome. They offer many things to do on the property or stay in your room with an iconic view from the pool on the balcony. TANIA was the best she helped with things for my room arranged pick up drop off for airport and any activity that I wanted. She even offered a bigger room but I was in love with the bed view directly to the ocean. Every day I seen different staff members and they are all very nice. This place deserves 12 out of 10 "
