==========
THE FORTY CHURCHES
Monemvasia is said to have 40 churches. Twenty-four of them have been documented and bear witness to the castle’s history, incorporating Byzantine, Venetian and Ottoman elements. Of particular importance is the Christ Elkomenos (6th century), which once held the icon of the Crucifixion, considered the largest and most beautiful icon of the Palaiologian Renaissance.

THE UPPER TOWN
Take “Voltes”, a fortified path snaking up the rock of Monemvasia. Unlike the lively Lower Town, the hill’s summit (once an aristocratic neighborhood) is characterized by absolute silence and stark ruins. The intact Gate House, however, the Church of Aghia Sophia (12th century) and the panoramic view of the castle and the sea are spell- binding.
===
THE MAIN SQUARE (TAPIA)
One of Monemvasia’s most popular spots, thanks to the sea view and spacious parapet suitable for a relaxing break in the sunshine. Here one finds the often-photographed cannon, the Church of Christ Elkomenos and the mosque which houses the archaeological collection. [Tel. (+30) 27310.614.03]

THE SOUTH WALL AND THE PORTELLO
The easiest walk you can do in Monemvasia is along the south wall, between the city and the sea. Apart from the small squares you meet, you will discover the passage to the Portello, the only sea gate through which goods were once transferred and today an ideal spot for swimming.

THE CAMERA MUSEUM
An original exhibition assembled from the personal collection of photographer Takis Aivalis, recipient of the Guinness Award; featuring fascinating cameras dating as early as the late 19th century; includes everything from wooden cameras to rapid-exposure cameras employed in war planes. [Neos Mystras, Tel. (+30) 6972.081.737]
===
MYSTRAS CHURCHES
The Byzantine churches of the Lower Town include the metropolis (Aghios Dimitrios), where the last emperor of the Byzantine Empire, Constantine XI Palaiologos, was sworn in; the Evangelistria; the saints Theodore and Hodegetria-Aphendiko; the Peribleptos; and the Monastery of the Pantanassa, still a home for nuns.
