Monemvasia – charter location

Ruled by the Byzantines in the 6th century, Monemvasia is a volcanic island and an important port in the Peloponnese. Luxury superyachts from all over the world anchor here so guests can take in such sights as the high cliffs that cascade down into azure blue waters below.

The ancient village of Kastro is set within a fortress filled with quaint terracotta-tiled houses, Turkish baths and well-preserved churches. You’re sure of a warm welcome wherever you go, whether exploring the winding alleys or dining in a restaurant.

This fantastic traditional town has lots of chic boutiques, tavernas and cafes for you to experience the best of the old and the new world. No vehicles are allowed in Kastro which means you have to take a picturesque walk from your superyacht to the fortress, free from traffic exhaust. It’s worth every step to see the stunning panoramic views.

Accessing Monemvasia is undoubtedly best by luxury yacht, especially for charterers who love to explore as well as relax. Don’t forget to visit the Kastania Cave while onshore which is reached by a winding mountain road with lush green forests on either side. The cave is filled with strangely contorted formations that are over three million years old.

While in Monemvasia take a trip to the islet of Elafonisson where the famous Simos Beach is situated. This beach is often featured on the world’s top beach lists, so again well worth a visit.
