Navagio (Shipwreck Beach) on Zakynthos island in Greece is among the top-10 beaches for boating in the world, according to Travel Channel which describes the famous Greek beach as follows:
“Navagio, or Shipwreck Beach, can only be reached by boat, and is named for the rusty vessel that’s shipwrecked there. Story has it that in the early ’80s a ship smuggling cigarettes and alcohol ran ashore here while fleeing Greek authorities, where it’s remained (and attracted tourists) ever since. Of course, it’s not the only reason to stop here. The small white beach surrounded by towering cliffs is a sight to behold, and lends itself to pretending that you’re, well, shipwrecked—as long as you do so before the tour boats arrive. Afterward, explore the neighboring Blue Caves, which are distinguished for the way in which they reflect blue light.”
