Navagio was once named Agios Georgios, getting its new name from a shipwreck that was washed ashore in 1980! The ship MV Panagiotis said to have been smuggling large amounts of contraband cigarettes, was abandoned by its crew due to poor weather conditions and trouble with the local navy authorities!
Navagio Beach, also known as Shipwreck Beach or Smugglers Cove, is a popular tourist attraction on the island of Zakynthos in Greece. The beach is famous for the wreck of the Panagiotis ship, which is buried in the sand. The ship is believed to have been a smuggler's ship.
The beach is located in the Ionian Islands, which are off the western coast of Greece. The islands are often called the “Heptanese” which means the “Seven Islands”.
The beach was originally called Agios Georgios. The ship is only accessible from the sea, and most tour operators on the island run day trips. Some tours run only in high season from April to October.
The best time to visit the beach is early morning before the hordes of tourists spoil the landscape.
