Zakynthos Shipwreck bay: The beach of Navagio (or Shipwreck or even Zakynthos smugglers cove) is the most famous of Zakynthos beaches and one of the most famous of the MEDITERRANEAN!. It is the trademark of the island and has been photographed millions of times. This superb beach is located in the eastern part of the island, close to the Anafotiria village.It has amazing crystal blue azur waters and a wonderful golden sand. Visiting Navagio is definately a must! Its view from above is more than breathtaking! Definately a paradise on earth.If you visit it by a boat it usually has swell that comes from the Adriatic sea, even if the weather is calm. However it is definately worth visiting! It was initially called Agios Georgios but owes its new name to the shipwreck of a boat that transported illegal cigarettes, in 1983. The deep sea left the remains of the ship on this beach. With the years passing, the sand completely surrounded the ship which looks now as if it was emerging of it. The vestiges of the ship can be seen in the middle of the large white sandy beach which has amazing turquoise and crystalline waters.Huge vertical cliffs of white rocks are surrounding the sand creating a unique and enchanting image. To reach this paradise, one has to take a little boat from the small port of Porto Vromi. Those taxi-boats are leaving every hour and the trip is about 30 minutes.
