Navagio, also called Shipwreck Beach, is an isolated cove on the northwest coast of Zakynthos accessible only by boat, where the rusting hull of the MV Panagiotis ran aground in 1980 and remains partially buried in the white pebbled shore. Towering limestone cliffs enclose the cove on three sides, creating an extraordinarily dramatic setting. The overhanging clifftop viewpoint above the beach provides a sweeping aerial perspective of the wreck and turquoise waters.
