Photographer's Note
Zakynthos Shipwreck: The beach of Navagio or Shipwreck is the most famous of Zakynthos beaches and one of the most famous of all Greece. It is the trademark of the island and has been photographed millions of times. This superb beach is located in the eastern part of the island, close to the Anafotiria village.
It was initially called Agios Georgios but owes its new name to the shipwreck of a boat that transported illegal cigarettes, in 1983. The deep sea left the remains of the ship on this beach.
With the years passing, the sand completely surrounded the ship which looks now as if it was emerging of it. The vestiges of the ship can be seen in the middle of the large white sandy beach which has amazing turquoise and crystalline waters.
Huge vertical cliffs of white rocks are surrounding the sand creating a unique and enchanting image. To reach this paradise, one has to take a little boat from the small port of Porto Vromi. Those taxi-boats are leaving every hour and the trip is about 30 minutes.

Hello Assi
Yes, I have seen many of those millions myself on posters, travel brochures etc and all taken from the same spot looking down from the cliffs above.
Thank you for this new angle - in a couple of minutes we will be stepping onto the soft, white sand...
Best wishes Maggie
