The rock that is called Monemvasia sits off the coast of Peloponnese, only connected by a narrow piece of road. (FYI: Monemvasia means single entrance) Again, it's full of history and ruins and if interested please read more HERE.Monemvasia as a day trip, takes up a good part of the day. So I only recommend this to people who plan on staying longer than a few days in Laconia. Also, for those who plan on exploring other sites around there, such as Neapolis, the island Elafonisos and maybe the island Kythira.
As you can see from the map, Monemvasia sits off the right most coast of the right most finger of the Peloponnese. I think, it's a couple hours (about 95km) from Sparti to Monemvasia (can't be sure since it's been a while since I've been there myself)
But I know it would make a nice stop over to stay at one of the hotels on the peninsula before trekking southwards on your journey. Check out this guy's blog on the Peloponnese, he talks about Monemvasia.
