Panagiotis Wrecks is a shipwreck on the coast of Zakynthos in a picturesque Navagio Bay, Greece. This abandoned ship turned a lovely almost secluded isolated bay with a sandy beach into a real world sightseeing. The vessel has a very interesting history. For a long period of time, it was used for contraband shipments. People call the Bay with the wrecked ship "The Bay of Contrabandists".

A great number of tourists come here in order to take a photo with a huge ship and unscalable rocks at the background. This historical vessel was built in Scotland in 1937. It was named in honour of Saint Bedan. For years it was used for carrying contraband cigarettes and was chased by the Greek Navy for this. In 1980 the crew was trying to escape from the Greek Navy and ran upon the sands. This huge ship is a real open-air leisure-time entertainment place for tourists.
