& @diokaminaris present the ORIGINAL SHOT of January 10, 2023 🏰 MEDIEVAL 🏰 Monemvasia, on the southeastern shores of the Peloponnese, Greece is Europe’s oldest continuously inhabited castle town. Founded in 583 by inhabitants of the mainland seeking refuge from the Slavic and the Avaric invasion of Greece, and surrounded by the Myrtoan Sea, Monemvasia, is located on an island about half a mile long. A man-made road and stone bridge leads to the castle gate and main entrance of the majestic castle town, onward through the colorful and lively citadel offering all who visit her both stunning views and an unforgettable ‘ambiance’ of times gone by. The town’s name derives from two Greek words, mone and emvasia, meaning “single entrance”. The “Gibraltar of the East” or a “stone ship” about to set sail, as the famous Greek poet Yannis Ritsos described his birthplace, beckons you for a journey through time, wandering through vaulted alleyways and past churches and aristocratic mansions.
