Zakynthos, Greece

Navagio Beach

The famous one: a rusting smugglers' shipwreck beached on blinding white shingle, ringed by cliffs the colour of bone.

About this place

You cannot currently walk on it. After repeated rockfalls the cove is closed to landing and swimming until at least 31 October 2026, the paths down are barriered, and boats are held back from the sand. That still leaves the view, which was always the best of it: the clifftop platform above the cove, and boat trips from Porto Vromi or Zakynthos Town that hold position offshore. Check the current status before booking — the closure has been extended more than once.
