Navagio Beach, also known as “shipwreck beach”.
In 1980, the ship Panagiotis was on its way from Turkey, destined for Italy. Reportedly a lot of contraband on board, including cigarettes. But off the coast of the Greek island of Zakynthos, the ship ended up in a storm. It got stuck in the limestone subsurface and was abandoned to escape the navy.
The ship was looted and was never taken away. Meanwhile, it is one of the most well-known tourist attractions on the island.
You can view the ship from the cliffs, where it is to sit down to catch a glimpse of the wreck on a landscaped plateau.
The pebble beach on which the ship is located is completely enclosed by high cliffs.
We rented a boat with private captain to take us to the beach.

Beautiful photos. It's punishment that no one has ever done anything to get that boat back into the water.
@Toto Animo I think the boat was already damaged when it washed ashore, because it was jammed during a storm. But apart from that, the Greeks are not 'cleaners'. Everywhere you can see car wrecks in nature, including refrigerators, etc. They just dump... Show more
It is special that these shipwrecks often remain lying down, and many people migrate. It usually doesn't pull me. But that sky blue water and sea. 😍😍😍😍😍
@Encaustichris The shipwreck is also in a unique, beautiful spot. That is probably why so many tourists are coming to it. The wreck itself wasn't impressive either. A rusty thing with holes in.
Very nice! I've done something similar in Portugal.
Beautiful photo report. I would also like to see myself in real life.
you must have seen the ship of course. well, it has resulted in a few nice pictures. But certainly that of the rocks!!
@marijke Yes, we were also mostly fans of the blue water, the chalk cliffs and the caves.
look like photos of paradise, beautiful place to vacation and relax
