Review & FAQ:
Shipwreck Beach, or Navagio Beach, is situated along an exposed cove on the northwest coast of Zakynthos – a Greek island within the Ionian Islands. The beautiful cove that the beach is nestled within is often referred to as “Smugglers Cove.” Originally named Agios Georgios, a smuggler’s freightliner ran aground on this beach in October, 1980. The abandoned ship remains buried within the beach’s limestone gravel – hence the “Shipwreck” moniker. The waters are vibrantly blue and mesmerize all who bask along its shores. Visitors can enjoy relaxing swims, a bit of snorkeling, or even a little scuba diving around the island. Shipwreck Beach Map
