Monemvasia, a unique medieval fortress town on a rocky island off the Peloponnese coast in Greece.

Connected to the mainland by a bridge, no cars are allowed beyond the city gate. All on foot, compacted and preserved from the Byzantine and Venetian times. Quite an experience to stay overnight there.

Try off season.

The beauty lies within.

The Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna (Italy) is celebrated as a masterpiece of early Christian and Byzantine architecture, primarily renowned for its extraordinary 6th century mosaics. Built between 532 and 547 during the rule of the Ostrogoths of Italy.

To the right of the windows is a fresco of St John Chrysostom in #Byzantine style from the 13th or 14th century. He holds a scroll which reads in Greek: "None of those who are slaves to the desires and cravings of the flesh are worthy."
