Monemvasia

Last weekend we drove down to Monemvasia which is on the coast about 4 hours away from Athens and it was spectacular.  It is a little island and is closer to a large rock an than island which has an old fort.  We stayed in this little hotel with a great view of the sea and just walked around the little city and relaxed.  Below are some pictures from our weekend.
