Photo Source: Municipality of Zakynthos (archive photo) The popular shipwreck beach, known as Navagio, on the Ionian island of Zakynthos, has re-opened with restrictions to the public after a cliff collapsed injuring several tourists earlier this month. A scientific and technical committee made of geologists and natural disaster management experts examined the rock formations and concluded that landslides are a common phenomenon based on the stability of the upper and lower sections of the cliff, adding that the beach should remain closed until further studies are carried out.

At the same time, port authorities remain on the spot carrying out patrols. One of the world’s most visited and photographed beaches and Zakynthos’ leading tourist attraction featuring the shipwreck Panagiotis, Navagio Beach is accessible only by boat.

If you’re wondering if you can just do the boat trip and skip the view from the top…. The short answer is NO! You will thank me for it when you see it for yourself. https://thewelltravelledfamily.com/2016/05/01/a-day-at-navagio-beach-zakynthos-greece/ Reply Leave a Comment Cancel Reply Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
