But It's Hiding A Secret City.

1.
Monemvasia from the North.
2.
Monemvasia from the South.
3.
It's amazing what this Greek island is hiding from most of the world.
4.
If visitors keep going exploring, though, they will find this entrance.
5.
One that will lead you to a really special place.
6.
The hidden town of Monemvasia.
7.
How pretty!
8.
And quiet.
9.
Doesn't get more serene than a naturally walled-in Greek island.
10.
Monemvasia was thought to be separated from the mainland by an earthquake in 375 AD.
11.
Look at how narrow the street is.
12.
It's a good thing no one tries to drive cars on here.
13.
I couldn't imagine taking that turn in even a high-performance automobile.
14.
What an amazing view.
15.
That giant rock certainly has its work cut out for it, hiding Monemvasia's beauty from the rest of the world.
16.
Once the word gets out on this place, the 1,400 residents can expect some company.
17.
Who wouldn't want to visit a place like this?
