Top Local Tips for Monemvasia

February travel People may be turned off at the thought of visiting a "beach" destination in the winter, but for hiking and wandering around a city like Monemvasia, it's the perfect time of year. The weather was comfortable (around 65) and there were no crowds (which is especially nice when wandering around through the ruins of the upper city and the citadel!). However, if you want a "scene" this isn't the time to go. About half of the restaurants and shops are closed and, when the day ends, only about 10 people actually LIVE in the city!

Swimming at the south gate There's a gate at the base of the rock (south gate?) and you can go for a swim there.
