New plans made, a shipwreck found.

The boat ride to Shipwreck Beach takes about an hour, depending on the type of boat and sea conditions. During the journey, you'll see some nice views of the Zakynthos coastline.

Also known as Navagio Beach, this is the main attraction of the trip. It's a cove with white sand, surrounded by limestone cliffs. The beach is named after the MV Panagiotis, a ship that ran aground here in 1980.

Unfortunately it is no longer possible to visit the beach on foot. Steep fines and, for boat captains, loss of licence, mean that you can only come within 20 metres of the shore and take your photos. It’s still an amazing activity.

After Shipwreck Beach, we headed to the Blue Caves. These are natural rock formations along the coast. The caves get their name from the way the sunlight reflects off the sea floor, giving the water a vibrant blue color. It is spectacular and not unlike the East coast of Sardinia.

Depending on your tour, you might have the chance to swim in the caves.Lue lisää
