a hilly town





This is the 'rock of Gilbrator'. Everything is built against this massive rock and the wind..... the wind justs whips and doesn't relent. Like I said before, if there's anything loose, it'll just rattle and rattle...... and it could drive someone crazy. But it is so beautiful. The village is still lived in, unlike Mystra which is abandoned. The houses are being restored and there are lots of units for sale. On top of this rock is the old Byzantine city with its ruined churches and fortifications. Like Mystra, it was also the last outpost of the Byzantine empire. This is the fabled city of Monemvasia.
