| Fascinating Navagio Beach on the island of Zakynthos, Greece |
Today’s beach is straight out of a fairytale! A hidden beach, a shipwreck, smugglers… Peter
Pan and Captain Hook would not be out of place here. Navagio Beach is on the island of Zakynthos,
one of the Greek Ionian islands. As you
would expect of a Greek isle, the water is an amazing aquamarine color. The beach is made of white pebbles – pretty
as a picture (though not ideal for barefoot walking, so wear some sandals)!
Navagio’s most striking feature is that it’s in a hidden
cove. The beach is surrounded on all
sides by towering limestone cliffs in a horseshoe configuration. It is stunning to say the least. You can only get there by boat, or for a
postcard-worthy vantage point, see it from the cliffs above.
The adventure aspect of Navagio Beach comes from its
shipwreck! That’s right, right on the
beach lie the remains of the Panagiotis, an alleged smuggling ship that wrecked
on Navagio in 1981. For this, Navagio is
also known as Shipwreck Beach and Smugglers Cove.
