We took this Sunday for a city tour of Monemvasia. It’s a rebuild walled city which is also a popular spot for Greeks. Thus, it was rather crowded in the lower city (for our taste). The upper city is still in ruins and it was great fun to explore them. On our way out, we went up north through a great mountain pass and back to sealevel on the other side. Poor Number 3 was severly carsick on this stretch.
You have to be creative to get your fresh orange in the morning 😉
Early morning in the olive trees of Camp Gythion Bay
We actually thought she’d managed to learn how to properly use a swing…
It’s even a google maps tourist attraction
The pier leading to Monemvasia
The kids were totally in awe of palms trees and cacti
Canons make Number 3 just happy
“If Number 3 gets a picture, I want a picture!”
The canon balls were just a plus to this square
It was already high up
Most of the lower city has been restored and is in use
While we went for a brunch-style lunch, my home-made lemonade turned out to be fancy
Number 3 needed some cuddles at lunch time
Up towards the upper city
Looks like a holiday
… and the view is already good
The upper town is still an archaeological site
Better not fall down
The only restored building in the upper city is the Hagia Sofia
Can’t get much further up now
Good thing I didn’t realize how close to the edge the walking path was when I was on it!
