The Traditional Hostel Ardamis is housed in the most significant building of the Monemvasia castle, whose history goes many centuries back. It was the governor's house during the Venetian rule and a residency during the Ottoman rule, while two Byzantine emperors have also been welcomed there.
The building was renovated with respect, without absolutely any alteration of the areas, keeping its particular architectural elements intact, thus highlighting its beauty and history, while at the same time offering all modern luxuries. When the renovation started, a Byzantine coin was found in the ruins dated back to 711 A.D. which is now exhibited in the Numismatic Museum of Athens and is unique in its kind.
Some of the guest house special elements are the unique Castle tower, 14 meters high with seven windows, an 800 years old marble well, a true copy whereof is exhibited in the Museum of Istanbul and a picture whereof is exhibited in the Castle Museum, and of course the guest house 100 m2 balcony right above the sea which many Greek and foreign magazines and visitors have called "The veranda of the Medditerranean".
Currently the guest house is an amazing complex of rooms, suites and apartments joining the history with the living present of Monemvasia.
Ardamis Traditional Guest Houses is the ideal destination for honeymoon.

Location
The Monemvasia Castle, a dream of thousand people all over the world, to cross the "Moni Emvassis" (single passage) and enter the "Stone Ship" of Giannis Ritsos, to get familiar with the surrounding space, to enjoy a mental trip in time... to compromise with History, and here, History haw its own word, which goes on without interruption for more than 20 centures.
The surrounding area is wrapped in a deep medieval mantle, having the dinstinct traces of the Palaiologos dynasty. The Byzantines named it "Hypercloudy Fortness" and "Renowned Town", the Franks called it "Gibraltar of the East", and the Turks gave it a more tender name, "Menexe Kalesi" which means "Castle of Flowers".
