Monemvasia Greece

We will be in port from 12-6. It is also marked as a water platform day.

 

Can anyone tell me where the tender drops us? Is it in the heart of the old town?  
 

Did anyone eat lunch in town or can recommend a place for a snack/gelato?

 

Thanks.

It’s been a while since we were there but the town is up a hill from the tenders. It is very walkable but in the past there has been a little shuttle taking people up and down. We ate at a lovely little cafe (on the right a little past the main gate) that had a view of the water and the ship anchored in the distance. Don’t know how covid has affected shops and cafes. It is a small, quaint village but one of my favorite Windstar ports.

We were there in 2015, and like r&rd is still one of our favorite ports.

The shuttle bus was very close to the tender drop off and back then cost half a euro each way.

Be sure to visit the Malva Gallery just inside the main gate, the owner is a very talented artist. 

Also, be sure to hike up through the town.  We went to the top of the hill and the view is amazing.

Thanks to both of you for your advice. It sounds like it must be very charming.
