"Navagio Beach (the pride and "business card" of Zakynthos Island) is named after the Wrecked Ship, or Smugglers' Bay because the smugglers' ship "Panagiotis" washed ashore several decades ago is located here. This place is protected by high cliffs, so its beauty can only be admired by coming here by sea. You can sail to the bay both with a rented boat and with an excursion. I just want to emphasize that not all rental points allow you to swim to Navagio by yourself because it can be dangerous. However, you can also rent a "captain" who will bring you here when renting a boat. When going here on your own, not with an excursion, I think you will have both a longer and more fun time for yourself :) (with an excursion you will only be allowed to spend an hour on the beach)
When going to Navagio beach, you also pass the Blue Caves. The beauty of the caves unfolds while sailing along the coasts of the island. In this place, whitish rocks in the form of arches plunge into the sea, and in some places, you can take a small boat to the grottoes hidden under the rocks, where the sunlight reflecting through the water creates an incredibly interesting light effect.

"accessible by boat - tour or individual; this is a beautiful, busy spot. There are many other smaller beaches with just as much beauty"
