Navagio, also known as Shipwreck Beach, is an iconic cove on Zakynthos Island, famed for the rusting shipwreck of the Panagiotis on its white sands surrounded by towering cliffs. Accessible primarily by boat, numerous tour operators offer excursions from various points on the island. Independent visits require renting a boat. The high season, from June to August, sees the largest crowds and highest prices, while May and September offer a balance of good weather and fewer visitors. Land access from the cliffs above provides stunning panoramic views, but is not for those with vertigo, and swimming is only possible from the beach itself. A typical boat trip lasts approximately 3-4 hours, and costs may range from €20-€50 per person depending on the tour operator and duration. Accessibility is limited for those with mobility issues due to the boat access and sandy terrain.
