PLACES YOU MUST VISIT ON ZAKINTHOS/ NAVAGIO OR SHIPWRECK BEACH


The most beautiful beach of Zakynthos and one of the five or six most photographed beaches of all Greece is Navagio beach or, so called. Shipwreck beach. You must not go to Zakynthos and miss to visit this beach, going there is a MUST.
Accessible only by the sea, it gives you the idea of hugeness and perfection. It consists of millions of small pebbles with the blue shades of the sea as far as the eye can see, the sight so beautiful that it seems as if it was painted by an artist.
Arriving by caique, the tall lateral walls hide the island till the last minute when, out of the blue, you get a complete view of the bay.



Waters around Navagio often have electric light blue colour because of the numerous sulphurous caves around the beach and when the sea is rising a large quantity of sulphur radiates, giving you the possibility to take beautiful pictures of the sight.To visit the beach, apart from the numerous tours of the island, it is possible to get a daily taxi boat from the bay of Porto Vromi or Aghios Nikolaos. We suggest visiting Navagio in the morning since in the afternoon the level of the sea tends to become higher and may cause problems in coming back.You can not leave the island without having seen this beach from the panoramic view at the top of the promontory facing the beach itself. Half way between the villages of Volimes and Anafonitria there is an asphalt road leading to a huge car park; getting down a few steps you will reach a balcony from where you can admire the beach.
