Navagio Beach, or Shipwreck Beach, can be found on the Northwest side of
Zakynthos Island, which is in turn off the West coast of Greece.
Because the isolated beach is home to the wrecked smuggler ship
Panagiotis it is also referred to as Smuggler’s Cove. The picturesque
white sand beach is only accessible by boat. Tourists can catch a boat
from the capital city of Zakynthos, Porto Vromi to the South, or from
Saint Nikolas in Volimes to the Northeast. The Panagiotis was an alleged
smuggler ship that was transporting illegal cigarettes when it wrecked
in 1983. Navagio Beach is the least crowded in the months of May and
November, and the best time to go is in the morning. Since the beach is
so popular, many tourists opt to rent a car and simply enjoy the
spectacular view of the beach from the top of the hill.
