Navagio (Shipwreck Beach)
Zakynthos · Greece
The short version, from the cited sources
Navagio on Zakynthos is the most photographed cove in Greece: sheer limestone walls enclosing a pale beach with the rusting coaster Panagiotis, wrecked in 1980, half-buried at its centre. The cove is reachable only by sea, and the clifftop viewing platform above provides the canonical image. Rockfall risk has led authorities to restrict access in recent years, so the current visiting rules should be checked before any plan is made.
