Navagio Beach (Shipwreck Beach), Zakynthos

#postandearn # Shipwreck Beach Shipwreck Landmark: The beach gets its nickname from the remains of the MV Panagiotis, a smuggler’s ship that ran aground in 1980. The rusting wreck still lies in the middle of the beach, partially buried in the white sand, making it a unique and photogenic centerpiece. • Scenic Cliffs: Navagio is surrounded by towering white limestone cliffs, which contrast spectacularly with the turquoise-blue sea. • Secluded Access: It is only accessible by boat, which adds to its remote and exotic charm. Boat tours run from Zakynthos Town, Porto Vromi, and other nearby ports. • Viewpoint from Above: A popular viewing platform is located above the cliffs, accessible by road from the village of Anafonitria. This spot offers the famous postcard view of the shipwreck and beach below. ⸻ What to Know Before You Visit • No Shade or Facilities: There are no shops, restrooms, or shade, so bring water, sunscreen, and essentials. • Best Time to Visit: Early morning or late afternoon (to avoid peak crowds). • Safety: Due to past landslides, access to the beach may sometimes be restricted or monitored.
