Spending the day in Monemvasta

We had a nice breakfast and then walked over to the old city at Monemvasta where we wandered around the old city. Some of us decided to make the hike to the top of the 300 foot mountain.

I spent most the day exploring the lower city of old Monemvasta. Late in the morning, me and nine members of the group climbed the trail to the top of the mountain. The views from the top were amazing.

When we returned from climbing the mountain and wandering the town, the group had a chance to get cleaned up and attend a cooking class. We learned how to cook five classic Greek foods, including Baklava. The class was a lot of fun. Six members of the tour group got to assist.
