Navagio Beach, Greece
From series “The Hidden and Hard-To-Reach Beautiful Beaches”
Located on Zakynthos Island, the Navagio Beach is popular with the followers of the peaceful rest. Literally one can translate the beach name as 'the shipbreak' from the Greek. In the ancient times these coastal stretches were considered one of the most dangerous among sailors. The reason for this are the underground currents, because of which the numerous ships were undersigned and a sandbank.
One of them, the Panaiotis, is now considered the main attraction of the beach. It is still unclear how the ship has been so high on the shore, perhaps the strong flood or storm has driven it on the sand coast. The beach is surrounded by the high rocky walls that penetrate deep into the sea and completely exclude the possibility to land on the coast.
