Emvasis Cafe - Cocktail Bar/Εμβασις — Restaurant in Municipality of Monemvasia

We couldn’t have chosen a better spot for our pre- and post-wedding drinks than this incredible all-day bar in the castle of Monemvasia. The terrace is absolutely breathtaking, offering panoramic views that create the perfect backdrop for unforgettable moments with friends and family.

Giota and Christos, along with their wonderful team, made us feel instantly at home. Their warmth, friendliness, and genuine hospitality turned every visit into a celebration. The cocktails were simply amazing — crafted with care, beautifully balanced, and absolutely delicious. Our guests are still raving about them, especially the Paloma, which quickly became a favorite!

This place is a true gem: stylish yet relaxed, with an atmosphere that suits any occasion, whether for a casual coffee, a sunset cocktail, or a late-night drink. Our wedding guests from around the world loved it as much as we did, and many said it was one of the highlights of their Monemvasia experience.

If you’re in the castle, don’t miss it — it’s an absolute must-stop for drinks with a view, warm service, and...

This was 100% the best place in Monemvasia. We came every single day for their unforgettable pancakes - I have not had better pancakes in my life. They also have very nice various combinations of fried eggs and fresh juices. Their food is high quality which is not the same as in other surrounding places. The staff is extremely nice and friendly. There is also a very sweet dog who is always happy for pets but never bothers you. In the evening, it is a super cool place to come to. They have an upstairs "roof garden" (terrace on the roof) where you can have drinks. They have a very wide and unique choice of cocktails and their bartender is super friendly. You cannot miss this place if you're in Monemvasia between 6am-3pm for the pancakes or in the...

A nice place to have a drink at the old town of Monemvasia. It offers a roof garden with nice view of the town and the sea. I would recommend to go in July or August and watch the red moon rising from the sea, the view is magnificent. However, note that the roof area is quite small and there is high chance of not finding a table to sit. The service was good and the staff polite. We ordered a glass of white wine and a club sandwich, which was good! Regarding wine, I would prefer to have more options than the entry level Maleatis from Monemvasia Winery. Prices were also very reasonable considering the location. Highly recommended, 4 stars only for not offering a few more...
