Monemvasia “The nature’s piece of art”. Monemvasia is the little historical city built on a mass of rock which is connected to the mainland by a narrow bridge of 130 meters. The name Monemvasia, which in Greek meant “the only access”, came from the singularity of this place.

Kyllini, in geographical terms, includes the wider districts of Kyllini, Kastro, Kato Panagia, Neochori, Loutra Kyllini, Golden Beach (Chryssi Akti) etc. For the locals though, the word Kyllini is used for the limited area of the harbor.

According to the Greek Mythology, the Argeian prince Pritos was the founder of the city. Pritos conflicted with his brother Akrisios and found shelter in Lykia. He returned from Lykia to this location along with the Cyclopes who built in his favor the monumental walls, also known as cyclopean walls.
