Photographer’s Note

Monemvassia (Greek: Μονεμβασσία, Μονεμβάσια, Μονεμβασιά), is a medieval fortress with an adjacent town, located on a small peninsula off the east coast of the Peloponnese in the Greek prefecture of Laconia. Remains include the defensive structures, the small adjacent town and Byzantine churches. Its name derives from two Greek words, mone and emvassia, meaning "single entrance". Many of the streets are narrow and are only fit for pedestrians.
