My wife and I were visiting Monemvasia for the first time and decided to go to a wine tasting here. The Liotrivi Historical Mansion is a short drive from Monemvasia and easy to find once you get to Velies, a few kilometres inland in pleasant wine and olive growing country. The wine tasting was a superb experience, very professionally and knowledgeably delivered by the friendly staff (Rula, Bill and Jim), in the splendid surroundings of the historical museum. We also tasted the olive oils, and having discovered that we really liked some of the wine and oil we tasted, bought some to bring back home to the UK with us. The only thing that left me scratching my head was, why is this lovely wine not more widely available in the UK? It is more than a match for wines I've tasted from other parts of Europe. In summary, a great place to visit.

A small amount of staff on site and very pleased to help with information. The castle ruins with all the attached buildings leading up the mound (mountainside) to the very highest parts where you can look down over countryside, ruins, and other buildings in the complex around the main castle. clamber down from the highest part to the entrance gate and then further down toward the palace (closed during my visit) and many other buildings or remains of. . Best to take the visit easy allowing plenty of time, if I have the opportunity I would enjoy a second visit as much as the first.

Great 2km walk from car park to the lighthouse located on the southernmost part of mainland Greece. A beautiful spot with stunning views in all directions. No facilities and limited shade so take plenty of water and a hat during hot weather. Path is rugged so wear good shoes, no flip flops! Plenty of parking at the start with a taverna close by. 2 small coves nearby if you fancy a refreshing dip after your walk, one you pass at the start of the walk, the other is to the rear of the sanctuary. Watch out for nibbling fish! The sanctuary was peaceful, we ate our picnic inside the small space as it was the only shade. Unfortunately we didn't find the gate to Hades but did find the mosaics, easy to miss if you're watching where you're walking. They're above the bay on the way to the lighthouse, and are easier to spot on your way back. Once you look at the area properly, you can make out foundations of ancient buildings. Still blows my mind! One of the highlights on this trip.
