Day 01

Athens to Monemvasia via Fokianos and Kyparissi

  • Pass by Paralia Fokianos, Fokiano, a wonderful beach reached first by a magnificent coastal route and then by a mountainous, twisty road. The views are truly majestic, and you will have a blast taking in the supreme landscape.

  • Stop at Kyparissi (Duration: 1 hour). Following a newly formed coastal route, drive from Fokianos to Kyparissi, a seaside village full of charm.

Founded by the Byzantines in the sixth century, Monemvasía is a breathtaking medieval tower town on the south-eastern coast of the Peloponnese and will be your overnight stay.
