Elea Mare Hotel in Monemvasia 230 52, open April–August.
Elea Mare Hotel rises from the Peloponnese coastline near Monemvasia, commanding views across the Aegean Sea toward the medieval fortress town.
Stone architecture and terraced grounds integrate with the dramatic cliff landscape, where whitewashed structures frame azure waters below.
The hotel's 230-meter elevation positions ceremonies and receptions within sight of both sea and ancient stone fortifications.
Beautiful hotel right on the sea. The staff are very helpful and friendly. There is breakfast for an additional low price every morning on the rooftop. In particular, there was one staff member named Helen who kept breakfast open later for my friend group, for the days we were there, as we were attending a multi-day wedding and she knew we would all be sleeping late and getting up late. Thank you Helen, your kindness is much appreciated!
