A quieter day in Monemvasia

---

Woke to banging shutters, a bright but amazingly windy day. Explored the lower town, up and down alleys in this medieval metropolis. Odd bits and pieces in the town museum, worth a look. Watched the world go by. It would be easy to spend a few days or weeks here, a long way from anything - at least out of season.

Later in the day we climbed the stairway to the deserted upper town. This one covered most of the top of the rock. Now in ruins except for the church. We of course continued to the top to the ruined citadel. Great views across to the mainland and to sea. In evening we went over to the mainland to a restaurant where is was a case of looking through what there was and then having it cooked for us.
