Xylis Bay

✨ Hidden gem

Órmos Xylís sits along the dramatic coastline near medieval Monemvasia, where you can explore the famous castle fortress perched on its rocky island. The bay offers a peaceful retreat with views of the eastern Peloponnese landscape, and you're just a short distance from the historic Upper Town and its atmospheric stone walkways. This part of Laconia gives you easy access to wine tastings and the region's renowned Byzantine architecture.
