Navagio Bay

4.3 (8021 reviews)

You'll find yourself at Greece's most photographed beach, where the famous MV Panagiotis shipwreck sits dramatically on white sand surrounded by towering limestone cliffs. The bay's otherworldly turquoise waters are accessible only by boat, making this isolated cove on Zakynthos's northern coast a bucket-list destination. Also known as Smugglers Cove, the beach offers no facilities - just raw natural beauty and some of the most stunning waters in the Mediterranean.
