In the Fortress town of Monemvasia, virtual tourists are able to “walk” inside the castle and enjoy the atmosphere in the narrow streets and squares and the unique points of view from the Upper Town.

Visitors will see all that leads to the impression of a town untouched by time: castles, walls, old mansions, narrow cobbled lanes, churches, low arches and vaults, coats of arms, imperial marble thrones, Byzantine icons.
