View to the island of Monemvasia from the mainland, near the town of Gefira. If you are visiting Monemvasia this is a perfect spot to shoot the whole island in perspective.

Photography Tips

Being there 1 -1.5 hours before sunset gives you the best of light. See my other tips for making the best of Monemvasia https://fullframenomad.com/monemvasia-photography-tips/

Travel Information

It is best to sleep somewhere in the area in order to have enough tme for extensive photo shoot on the island. You need at least 2-3 hours to get there, walk to the Upper Town and do the shooting, so 1 day visit from Athens is not realistic.
