Located on Zakynthos Island, the Navagio Beach is popular with the followers of the peaceful rest. Literally one can translate the beach name as 'the shipbreak' from the Greek. In the ancient times these coastal stretches were considered one of the most dangerous among sailors. The reason for this are the underground currents, because of which the numerous ships were undersigned and a sandbank.
One of them, the Panaiotis, is now considered the main attraction of the beach. It is still unclear how the ship has been so high on the shore, perhaps the strong flood or storm has driven it on the sand coast. The beach is surrounded by the high rocky walls that penetrate deep into the sea and completely exclude the possibility to land on the coast.
To the picturesque sandy beach can only be reached by boat or with the cutter. The unified beach without any infrastructure is incredibly popular with tourists. Every day the travelers come here to see the ancient smugglers' ship and to relax in the calm atmosphere. Despite the relatively small number of holidaymakers, the atmosphere on the beach remains calm and quiet. Those who want to spend their time in full solitude should head to Navagio Beach early in the morning.
