Aktaion Hotel in Monemvasia 230 70, open June–October.
Perched on the rocky coastline of Monemvasia, Aktaion Hotel commands sweeping views of the Aegean Sea and the medieval fortress town cascading down the cliff face.
The property sits directly on Main Road, offering unobstructed vistas across the water to distant islands.
Stone architecture and natural Mediterranean terrain create an authentic setting where sea breezes and salt air frame every ceremony and reception.
No frills inexpensive hotel with simple but clean rooms. A great location close to the causeway to Monemvasia. We got breakfast from downstairs at the hotel and had it on the balcony with a lovely sea view. If you are not picky, this place is perfect for a stopover.
