Known as the "Gibraltar of Greece," the key to Monemvassia's history is that it is a natural fortress, easy to defend from both sea and land.
The name Monemvassia means, "single gate." The name applies to both the town, accessed by a single portal, and the island, accessible by land from a single point.
Monemvassia was freed from the Turks during the Greek War of Independence in 1821 when its Turkish inhabitants were, in turn, massacred following a three-month siege.

 Aventure et voyages - Infojunior No 19 du 12 décembre 1999
Monemvassia est une ville fortifiée, posée sur un rocher énorme, dans la mer Méditerranée, au sud du Péloponnèse (la partie de la Grèce qui ressemble à une main).
Grâce à cette position stratégique de Monemvassia, les empereurs byzantins ont toujours essayé de gagner l'amitié de ses habitants en leur accordant toujours des droits et des privilèges spéciaux, car ils pouvaient jouer un rôle considérable dans la défense de l'empire de Byzance.
Les Grecs avaient bâti une première ville sur le rocher de Monemvassia en 583 (après J.C.) afin de se protéger des invasions barbares.

But half hidden in a slight depression of this rock, lies the fortified town of Monemvassia -- almost isolated from the mainland, as its name (meaning "A Single Entrance") signifies.
Known as Malvasia to the Venetians and Malvoisie to the Franks, the town was built in the 6th century.
We have spoken to inhabitants of Monemvassia, who would love to have medieval Lords and Ladies roam their streets for a few days, so watch this space for further developments!

 Monemvassia : Introduction | Frommers.com
Nicknamed "the Gibraltar of Greece" because of its strategic importance during the Middle Ages, Monemvassia was a virtual ghost town by the 20th century.
Although Monemvassia is an island, it's connected to the mainland by a causeway that you can drive or stroll across.
Cars are banned here -- a wise decision, since the only approximation of a street on "the rock" is barely wide enough for two donkeys (which bring in supplies) to squeeze past each other.

We had tried to arrange for passage on board a hydrofoil to Monemvassia while we were in Athens, but, maybe because of the language barrier, just couldn't seem to do it.
As our hydrofoil left Monemvassia we kept looking back, first at Ouzo and then at the Rock of which we had become so fond.
Our first impression of Monemvassia had been so totally negative while our departing and lasting impression was so totally warm and positive as to make any comparison meaningless.
