Rare spinnaker2 Posted August 6, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Just wondering how difficult a climb to the ruins of the Palace. Photos of the place look amazing and I would like to go but may not be able to make the climb up. Anyone been there to tell me how strenuous a hike up? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissSophia Posted August 6, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Is this one of the ports we are on in September Spins.....have yet to study! Doubt I'd manage two steps but I'll keep the fizz on ice for when you return to the ship! 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare spinnaker2 Posted August 6, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Miss Sophia It's actually an excursion from Monemvasia. Since its 90 minutes one way by bus, at 8 something in the am, a tender port and description sounds like a bit of a climb(600 feet up) I have some doubts. Add to the mix it's our first day aboard and we will still be jet lagged. We have walked Monemvasia and it's totally worth it. Mystras looks equally beautiful.

UKCruiseJeff Posted August 6, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 6, 2017 3 hours in a bus when you could be walking the extremely lovely Monemvasia again or sitting idling somewhere is quite a sacrifice. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare spinnaker2 Posted August 6, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted August 6, 2017 The three hours in a bus is a killer. DH already balking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camillus112 Posted August 6, 2017 #8 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I remember walking to Monemvasia, walking the town and back, and still having energy to do it again, but.... climbing all those steep mountains... like MissS. says, I think you are a brave lady just thinking about it...
