Private 3-Hour Monemvasia Castletown Tour

Upon disembarkation, your private driver will be waiting at the port with a sign bearing your name. A short but scenic drive along the coast will take you to the castle’s main gate, where your licensed guide will welcome you.
Your walking tour begins as you pass through the only surviving land gate into Monemvasia’s Castletown, a perfectly preserved medieval settlement built into the rock. Stroll along cobbled pathways and steep stone steps as your guide shares the stories of Byzantine, Venetian, and Ottoman rule that shaped this fortress-town.
Highlights include the Metropolis Church of Christ in Chains, Monemvasia’s most important Byzantine church, and the small but fascinating Archaeological Museum, located near the main square, featuring artifacts, utensils, and architectural fragments from the town’s flourishing medieval period.
For those seeking a lighter pace, your guide will focus on the central areas while offering tips for exploring further on your own. After your guided walk, enjoy free time to wander the alleys, shop for local crafts, or relax at a café overlooking the Myrtoon Sea—an unforgettable setting that makes many visitors return for longer stays.
Should you wish, extend your tour with an optional romantic lunch or dinner at one of Monemvasia’s few but renowned restaurants, often praised as some of the most scenic dining spots in Greece.
Your private driver will be waiting outside the castle’s gate to take you back to the port, ensuring a timely return to your ship.
