Shipwreck Beach

One of the most photographed beaches in Greece is also one of its most remote, thanks to the towering cliffs that surround Shipwreck Beach’s sandy cove and make it accessible only by boat. Picture-perfect indeed, the Ionian island of Zakynthos is famous for its trademark beach – a perfect milky-white crescent where the wreckage of a marooned vessel, dating back to 1983, remains half-emerged in the sand; the beach was originally called Agios Georgios before the wreck became a fixture on the idyllic stretch, and Navagio (“Shipwreck” in English) beach was born. Cruise tours departing from the northern village of Volimes will ferry passengers to the famous shore, as well as to the island’s other treasure, the Blue Caves at Skinari – massive airy grottos that are big enough to snorkel, swim, and boat through.
