BEST OF THE BEST BEACH
THE MOST ICONIC BEACH CENTERPIECE
Another one of our previous winners, Navagio Beach, also known as Shipwreck Beach on Zakynthos Island, is a beautiful and iconic location. This beach is famous for the rusted remains of a ship that ran aground here in the early 1980s. The unique centerpiece is nestled among high limestone cliffs, and the beach is renowned for its strikingly blue waters and white pebble sand, which contrast sharply with the sheer cliffs that surround it. Due to its pure, untouched, and rugged nature, this beach sees regular closures to protect both visitors and the serene environment. However, it is still possible to capture its dazzling beauty from the epic panoramic viewpoints above.

THE PERFECT DAY AT Navagio Beach
Summers in Greece are truly magical, but June through August is a busy time with more tourists visiting the beaches. For a more peaceful vacation, consider traveling during spring or fall. Although the sea is guaranteed to be warm for swimming during the summer months, the quieter seasons offer a more serene experience with fewer tourists. To capture the perfect view of Shipwreck Beach from above, aim to hit the cliffs between noon and 3pm when the sun hits the cove. This is also the busiest time for boat tours. For a less crowded experience, visit in the late afternoon from about 4pm.
